Connecting bridge to router

[goyedotun]

Please what cable can be used in connecting an Bridge connection between 2 land and using router at both end

Router- bridge poe--over air-bridge poe--router

Standard ethernet cable. Since your example shows POE, then you would have a POE injector between the router and the wireless bridge on each end.

Am asking is it straight cable or crossover cable from Poe to the router at both end

Since most devices are gigabit ethernet ports, it doesn't matter. Gigabit ports automatically figure it out. But I have always used straight thru.

What of old devices and some now with wan port or fast Ethernet port... That is the major concern

Read the instructions that come with the bridge.

I would ALWAYS use straight through with the output of the POE injector. If you had to use a crossover I would use it on the input of the POE injector. But I think a bridge device is just like any other end point device (like a PC) and straight thru would be correct.

How much of a "major concern" can it be? Buy (or make-up) one extra cable ...

Thanks for ur answer. More clarification am talking about microwave ptp link working as bridge mode trying to connectbro router at each end with Poe at both end

I have no experience with microwave. Since in most countries that requires licensed frequencies.
