Hello
Could someone tell me what adapters should I purchase, in order to have an outdoor wireless link between two existing wired LANs.
The link should route DHCP and Bonjour protocols.
The outdoor distance is about 50 meters, vision line OK.
I get confused about all these different SXT references on RouterBoard website.
I guess my config does not require integrated routers, but just two AP talking to each other.
Speed is of the essence, so the fastest AP would be what I need.
What would be the right item reference on the Routerboard website for purchase ?
Thanks

You can do this with 2xSXT 5HnD and low the tx power of both of them because you have a very close distance.
One SXT will be in bidge and the other in station-bridge. This way you will bridge the two points.
For routing to one LAN to another you will need to make rules in your router in every LAN.

Thanks a lot.
So you confirm that DHCP and Bonjour traffic should route without problems, just as if the two LANs were physically connected on Ethernet ?
Yes they will be a transparent bridge, as long as you use bridge on one end and station-bridge on the other.
