Subject: Bridging with Aironet Hi,
I have been working on very similar project for about 5 months now and I have a lot of experience using the Cisco 352 cards. All you want to do is fine and works perfectly but only on short distances. What I mean by short is about 1 to 2 miles. As soon as you go over that distance, a world of problems open which are caused by some timing issues between the cards.
I found recently that the PCI cards are not designed to work on longer distances and if you go over the given limit, you can expect effective bandwidth of only 60 to 70Kbps. I tried to connect to points which were about 20Km away and the packet loss on the application went to about 80% thereby leaving only very little of usable bandwidth.
I have heard that some people have alleviated this problem of distance by using a bridge (BRI 342) as an access point and it is supposed to work but then you have to use infrastructure mode.
P.S.
I could not post this message on the thread. Can you do it for me so other people can get the info?
