I've been using a DLink DWL-900AP for over a year to link two WIRED
networks, about 5 PC's on each site. It's been working pretty well,
but not the fastest, but never a dropout or reconnect needed. Line of
sight between the two, about 100 feet outdoors, with original omni
antennas.
Can anyone suggest a reasonable cost bridge model (g) to try? I tried
the DLink DWL-2100AP; basically assigned the mac single point to point
bridge for security. Although faster, we experienced so many
"pauses", and a few out and out "the network has been disconnected"
messages, that I went back to our original b-model DLink.
I tried different channels, disabled super-g mode, etc. all without
any better luck.
Any experience here with other bridges? I am going to put in a
directional antennas so I need a bridge/access point that supports
that.
I was disappointed with the DLink, but it may have been partially my
fault for not replacing the antennas with directional ones to minimize
interference.
I guess DLink, Netgear, Linksys are possible choices, plus Cisco
Aironet being a more expensive solution.
All ideas and experience appreciated.
