[MLB-WIRELESS] DLink Gear

[Jason Hecker]

Hrm,

I am putting up two 900AP+'s using v2.56 of the firmware and in bridge
mode today.  The link is about 700m clear across rooftops and I'm using
21dBi antennas at each end with 7m of LMR-500 and 10m of LMR-400.  It
should scream in.  I'll post photos of the install and link results next
week.  The bridge worked fine in the office this morning.

Even some packet loss with only 1Mbit will be better than what we have now
(walking between buildings with CD-RW).

2.56 says 100% is now 17dMb...
