Can someone give me some advice as to the products I should look at?


Requirements:

Two residential businesses about 50-75 yards apart, line of sight is
available. First location has 50 users, second location WILL HAVE 20 users
(NEW location). We have Windows 2003 AD, Exchange 2003 - all native.

(1) Can this be done by two WRT54G routers or something more business
related?

(2) What kind of products do I need to link the two locations wirelessly?
Is it bridges or something else - please expound on your suggestion some -


Thank you.

Maybe both wired to your ISP and run a VPN between the networks... Faster and more secure, IMHO...

How can it be faster than DSL - even with VPN?
