Hi All I'm brand new to this group, and I have configuration question for a project on Santa Cruz Island.
The context is that I am trying to send the signals from a couple of cameras from one location on the island to another, about 1/2 mile apart. At the camera end, I have an Axis Video Server, model 2400+, plugged into a Linkysys WAP11. I have an omni antenna, 15db, attached to the WAP11. On the receiving end, as I do not have good line of sight between the camera end and my wireless Router (BEF11S4)(there are hills and trees), I have an intermediate station that consists of a Bridge (WET11) and another WAP11. They both have external antennas. There is decent line of sight between this station and both the cameras and the Router. They way I have it setup now is that the WAP11 at the camera is set as a Wireless Repeater to the WAP11 that is connected to the Bridge. So, the bridge talks to my Router and to the WAP11 that it's connected to (WAP'a'), and that WAP can talk to the WAP that is at the cameras (WAP'b'). My problem is that I cannot talk to the video server that is connected by Crossover cable to WAP'b'. Prior to connecting WAP'a' to the bridge, I had it directly plugged into the Router. With that, I was able to talk to the Video Server, though I only had it and WAP'b' about 100 yards away. Once I moved WAP'b' and the server to its location 1/2 mile away, I was not able to maintian the signal connection. I looked at the Linkysys help pages, and there I found the info on using the Bridge to extend the range. I have gotten that to work, with the one exception of no longer being able to talk to the server. So there is something that I am missing in this setup, but I do not know what it is. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Brian
