Hello Everyone,
I have been working on a project for a Native Reserve in southern ON.
The basic idea was to connect 4 remote sites to the main administration building so all the departments could access the main server and also share the internet from the admin building. In order to achieve this the remote sites would connect to the admin via a 150' ft water tower. Admin and all Remote sites are access point client.
Water Tower setup:
WAR4 using 2 radios, 90 degree 5.8 17dbi quad sector array from hyperlink
wpci0 - 192.168.10.1 set as AP1
wpci1 - 192.168.20.1 set as AP2
*static routes*
10.1.0.0 via 192.168.10.2
192.168.1.0 via 192.168.10.3
192.168.100.0 via 192.168.10.4
192.168.110.0 via 192.168.20.2
192.168.120.0 via 192.168.20.3
Default GW 0.0.0.0
Admin Building WAR4 using 1 radio 2km from water tower on 10.1.0.0 network
ether0 - 10.1.0.200
wpci0 - 192.168.10.2
*static routes*
10.1.0.0 via 10.1.255.254 (internal router to internet)
192.168.0.0 via 192.168.10.1
Remote site 1 WAR2 using 1 radio 6km from tower on 192.168.1.0 network
ether0 - 192.168.1.254
wpci0 - 192.168.10.3
*static routes*
10.1.0.0 via 192.168.10.1
192.168.1.0 via 192.168.1.254 (not sure if I need this route)
Remote site 2 WAR2 using 1 radio 7km from tower on 192.168.100.0 network
ether0 - 192.168.100.254
wpci0 - 192.168.10.4
*static routes*
10.1.0.0 via 192.168.10.1
192.168.100.0 via 192.168.100.254 (again not sure if route is needed)
And so on and so on. It seems to work pretty good and I dont have to climb the tower as much. The furthest remote site is 11kms and throughput of around 2800 KB/sec. It is a viable interim solution untill V3 cant wait.
