Hi,
I have a little WISP.
Until now I have used Dlink product and I have realized an hot spot with 3 AP on 2.4GHz covering 1 Km beam metropolitan area.
Now customer are began to much to manage with a Dlink consumer product.

All my custumers have Dlink 900AP+ and DLINK 2000AP+.

I want Use Routerboard together SR5 for backhall and CM9 for AP.
I want to know if there is someone that use as basestation AP the routerboard 532 and CPE 900AP+ or 2000AP+ and what the experience.

I have experience that different vendor have different behaviour.
Ciao

Works fine for me using latest firmware on the D-Link AP and having it set up in client mode, with Mikrotik set up as ap-bridge. This is good for several km as long as you have reasonable antennas.

Do note that I haven’t tested it for long term reliability so your results may vary.

Regs are pretty simple

4w’s for 2.4
1w for 5.15-5.25
4w’s for 5.25-5.35
4w for 5.725 to 5.825 PtMP
200w for 5.725 to 5.825 PtP:D

I’m in Blenheim. Beccara has covered the regs exactly :slight_smile:

I think that’s what makes the lamb extra tender :wink:

I have a few other questions about NZ, could I be cheeky and get either of you to drop me an email as I’m not sure the MK support forum is the best place for a discussion :slight_smile:

Sure Paul!

FYI and anyone else interested, the full NZ regs covering unlicensed bands can be found at http://www.rsm.govt.nz/licensing/gurls/gurl-srd.html

No, just the possums. :wink: Unless you count myself…

Gee, that’s funny. In New Zealand 5.25-5.35 is 200mW, or 1W if you have TPC and DFC. Read the regs!!!
