You are definitely going to need a yagi to go the mile. I am doing the same
over 900-feet with Engenius 3054s in Rootennas. Make sure if you are setting up
behind a router that the AP is a DHCP client. Otherwise you will get NAT
collisions and will not be able to access the internet. M@ is right as I too
was frustrated by the semantics of the documentation. One has to be the AP, the
other its client. I even took my setup a step further and put a switch at the
client end and set up another AP off that. Good luck!

I've

solid.
The
bridge,
on

can
service
wired
clients
by
bridging
the
two

networks
into
one
logical
subnet,
right?
