Those are very old bridges. So if they are still functioning okay, do they require external antennas or not and do you have external antennas if they do?

thx scott, mine is AIR-LAP1310G-AK9R do they require external antenna?

Yes they do require external antennas. That is why it works when the two bridges are close to each other.

You need to use this tool first to see if you can even make a link. You will need line of sight and the antennas will have to be high enough to clear obstruction in the fresnel zone.
