I would like suggestions on a cost effective point to point wireless bridge setup with approximately 300Mbps throughput.

[Keith Jones]

I need to design a point to point wireless setup for a client and the locations are about 1000 feet apart.  I was contemplating using 2 X AP541n access points with MIMO antennas, but can't really find any documentation on if this would work, or even what the effective throughput of an AP541n in WDS is.

I am open to suggestions of solutions that people have come up with.  I also am interested in hearing how you tested the throughput of the solution, and what type of antenna you used.  Did you use a MIMO antenna with 3 antenna connectors on it, or did you use 3 individual antennas?

Thanks!

Dear Keith,

Thank you for reaching the Small Business Support Community.

Based on the AP541 datasheet;

I see no way to accomplish your needs (300Mbps throughput through out a 1,000ft WDS setup) with this AP541 or any other of the Small Business access points.  I suggest you to look at the enterprise products and inquire about it on their community support forum;

Please do not hesitate to reach me back if there is anything I may assist you with in the meantime.
