Ok, so we're looking to share a T1 line with our neighbors, and this is what we are looking at doing:
T1 Router --> Wireless Access Point --> Directional Antenna on roof --> Directional Antenna on their roof --> Their wireless access point --> cables to their various computers.
Overall we expect the wireless signal to travel no more than 150ft, and we'll have about 25ft of cable on each end to each antenna (~2dbi loss in gain on each end i think).
So, first off, is this possible? Do I just set both WAPs with the same SSID and WEP key and they will act as a bridge?
Second, recommended equipment? And how much do you think this would cost? We were thinking about ~$2-300 is our budget, and looking around I think we should be able to make that. We already have the T1 Router, and one WAP (a cheap D-Link WAP and Router - would we need something better?)
Anyway, all help is appreciated, thanks!
