B: (bridge) (dunno if can be done like this, 2 antenna 1 R52)
RB112 (station wds mode)
R52
DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA 24dbi (main antenna port)
DIRECTIOANL ANTENNA 15dbi (aux antenna port)
I don’t know those places yet, I should calculate ± the cost ,
So, don’t know how the cost will vary if A B C are in a line with B in the middle or etc.
You can use two antennas on one wireless card in the way, when one antenna is serving one part of the clients and another antenna is serving another part of the clients.
Two wireless card antennas connectors might be used, if you want to use two anntenas one only for receive and another for transmit, it will not give any significant gain compare with using single antenna.
If you will have more than one WDS peer per wireless interface, traffic will be distribured respectively 1/x per WDS peer. x - number of the WDS peers.
Station-wds cannot establish communication with station-wds.Station-wds can connect to ap-bridge or bridge (allows connection only for one wireless client).
Make sure that RB112 will be enough to maintain all AP operations.
You MIGHT get this to work like this.. But, I don’t think so, your best bet is to install another R52 or CM9 in the second slot and use 2 radios.. because, you don’t have to switch between transmit and receive, so your bandwidth won’t suffer near as much..
I think is better to establish an AP on point A, and clients on both B and C “looking at” A.
If you bridge them all using WDS, it’ll work.
I’m doing more or less the same, but I have more than 2 clients looking at the AP!
