Hi experts,

Can anyone recommend the best way and equipment to do AP to AP backbone without network cabling?

Thanks

Microwave?

You have to at least describe the local conditions and requirements.

This is for indoors (i.e. shopping mall). Looking to not have to install cabling to connect these APs back to the core router (internet gateway)

Looking to distributed APs throughout to provide wireless access out through a single point Broadband.

Thanks,

I know that you don’t want to read this: forget everything and run the cables to the APs.

:slight_smile: always the safest way.

Just wanted to see a solution comparable to the Rukus setup of wireless backbone.

Thanks

Some people use mesh for this kind of setup, and claim it’s working great for them. Some even think that mesh somehow assists in roaming (they are wrong!)

But, as jarda said, forget everything and run the cables to the APs.
