Or you can skip the back to back SB's with hub router in the middle and buy a STAR-OS box with TWO Radio cards and have buit in routing and an ethernet port for the local customer.
Nice thing is it is much higher quality and most likely cheaper, but more important... YOU WON"T HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS!!!!
just my opinion.

Smartbridges may not be an effective solution if you are talking about a
traditional mesh network, but if you insist, you are looking at what is
commonly referred to as two units "back-to-back" meaning what Alex is
saying. However, you need a hub/router/switch to accomplish this and
provide subscriber #1 with access.

To eliminate the hub requirement, you can place two units at each site,
one in client bridge mode connected directly to the user's computer, one
in repeater mode with just power connected.

If subscriber#2 can get the signal from subscriber #1, then you can put another access point at subscriber #1 for subscriber#2 using client device to associate with.

Main AP-----Subscriber#1----------Subscriber#2
(aPPT)      (aBT & aPPT)            (aBT)

The channel & ESSID will be configured differently for main AP to subscriber#1 and Subscriber#1 to subscriber#2.

Hope this help.

Opinions wanted, What would be the best way to use the smartBridges products as a mesh network environment?

Per instance say the main AP is the airPoint Pro Total and subscriber #1 is 1/2 mile away and can associate with the AP no problem.. but subscriber #2 is 1 mile away and can't get signal from the main AP. What would be the suggested smartBrudges unit to use at subscriber #1 location to repeat to subscriber #2..? and so on..?

Is it possible to do this and not use a obtrusive antenna on subscriber #1's house?

This is all pretty new to me but I'm ready to play!

Thanks in advance!
