Wireless cover soccer fields

Hi Guys

Need some experience from others. Need to setup a hotspot wifi for a soccer organisations. Outside coverage around 200 mtrs.

Has anyone good advice for a setup. Was looking at RBMeta2SHPn ? Maybe you have other suggestions ?

Hi
Done a lot of reading. Lot of users have problems with Metal/groove as an AP, is far to strong for an hotspot.

Other suggestions ?

Always the best choice is to have many smaller APs spread around the seating area, not strong APs. Control them all with CAPsMAN.

On the other hand … if the only one AP fails then you have no WiFi at all.

MikroTik RouterBOARD wAP G-5HacT2HnD is outdoor, waterproof, small, dual band … seems to be good choice as AP.

That does not contradict what others said :smiley:

many wAPs is better than one RB Metal.
Controll all the wAPs with capsman.

wAP is good as AP in CAPSMAN configuration :slight_smile:

The main point of my post was to pay attention to “SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE”.

Just make sure there is a backup CAPsMAN server in the same network. You can use scripting or VRRP for this. Clients will automatically use the other one, once the main disappears.

HI
I know best solutions is many AP’s But infrastructure is very poor.

I gonna do some test with a wAP AC and HAP ac with capsmanager.

Thx for the replies.
