I need to connect two networks together. The distance between Point A and Point B is about 100 feet. So far it is pretty simple, but the problem is we are adding a section onto our plant between Point A and Point B.
I put two store bought wireless access point in until I could come up with a permanent (but temporary) solution. At first it worked pretty good. Then they moved a large roll off dumpster into the line of site. It was not as good but was still worked. Then they filled the dumpster with concrete from demolition. That ended the operation of the wireless network until the dumpster was moved. I get the feeling this is going to happen quite often during the construction. I will have to keep this temporary network going for about 6 months when the building should be completed.
Underground or overhead lines are not an option because of the construction, does anyone have ideas about how to make the wireless more reliable or any alternative solutions?
Thanks
