Can you please advise on best configuration to use? Can i use SXT 5hpnd (License 3)?

Thanks.

Yes. Or whatever else too… Depends on local conditions and your requirements.

Thanks Jarda.

I would appreciate if you could provide more details on the configuration of the SXT’s that i can use. You know i can;t use AP Bridge with license 3.

Thanks.

You can run level 3 licensed devices in bridging mode nicely. You are just limited to 1:1 connection only.

Thank you Jarda.
My purpose is to link all locations on same network. I need to do an internal LAN network.
One to One will not server the purpose.
Should i use different license? Kindly advise.

I thought you can have directional links between the points as you draw on the picture. If local conditions allow you can have an omnidirectional antennas with level 4 license device on points 3 and 4. But single point to point links are always better.

Thank you Jarda.
You said ‘single point to point links are always better’.
But i would need to connect point 1 for example with point 5 in my network. Will the bridge mode of SXT L3 allow me to do this connectivity?
If Yes, should i use bridge mode on points 3 and 4 and use station mode for the remaining points?

Thanks for your help.

You need switches or bridges on 3 and 4. Depending on physical situations you can have omni or sector on 3 as Ap to get 1 and 2 as client and 4 as client too. Then some other ptp link between 4 and 5. Or all links can be ptp joined together in points 3 and 5 by wires…
