Does anyone have a recommendation for a WiFi Access Point product that
is
compatible with the 7260 and suitable for outdoor use?
I have a isolated
network (i.e. not connected to the internet) of
7260's that I would like to
provide access to via WiFi. I want to be
able to connect to an AP attached to
one of the 7260s and then have
network access to all of them.
I have
several of the IOGear dongles that could theoretically be used
for this if
they were protected from the elements, but their range
seems extremely
limited, and they do not seem to operate very robustly.
I am running a
Debian system with version 2.4.26 of the kernel that I
have built myself,
that is based on ts11.
Reliability is the most important feature: I want
to be able to
connect every time. Speed and Range are not nearly as
important. We
will be fairly close to the AP (20-30 meters) and data rates
will be
fairly low (a few kbps). Price is not terribly important.
If
anyone has a particular product that they have had success with, I
would be
most interested in hearing about it.
