I set up the house ENH200 in Access Point mode, using WPA2/PSK/AES for security. Another CAT5e cable ran from the shop exterior wall to its interior.
In this scenario my client, Tim Schlabach of Fairfield Custom Kitchens, mounted the bridge/access point hardware on the exterior walls of house and shop, and ran a CAT5e cable from his existing wireless router to the access point. The ENH200 has two integrated 10dBi dual-polarized antennae and no external antenna connectors.) (For a greater span, the EnGenius ENH200EXT can add external antennae via SMA or SMA-N-type connectors.
I've built wireless bridges with the venerable Linksys WRT54GL using external antennae, but for this scenario I went with the newer ENH200 outdoor client bridge from EnGenius, which offers business-class hardware and Wireless N speeds. In northwestern Pennsylvania, durability in extreme weather (snow, hail, rain, you name it) matters, too. Reliability is critical to a wireless bridge. A wireless bridge can git ‘er done without perturbing the petunias or digging up the driveway. What should you do?Ī wired infrastructure is usually the best option for extending a computer network, but sometimes trenching a pipe to lay a few wires is not an option. Your wireless router doesn't reach that far. You want wireless coverage and Internet access in your shop, about 100 yards away. Scenario: You have a computer network in your house.
