What is the maximum range for this AP in bridge mode ?

I need the range for 802.11a with external antennas.

For 802.11b, the range is about 15 miles.

It depends on type of bridge antennas you used. Since this model came with RP-TNC connectors, you can choose few types of the 2.4 GHz Bridge Antennas that came with RP-TNC Connectors. Others are N-Type, which cannot be used with this AP.

Antenna ------------ 802.11b range ------------ 802.11a range

AIR-ANT2506 -------- 1.66 miles (2.66 km) ----- 0.21 miles (0.34 km)

AIR-ANT24120 ------- 7.92 miles (12.75 km) ---- 1.0 miles (1.6 km)

AIR-ANT2414S-R ----- 8.89 miles (14.30 km) ---- 1.26 miles (2.02 km) ---> ***

AIR-ANT1949 -------- 11.19 miles (18.01 km) --- 1.41 miles (2.27 km)

AIR-ANT3338 -------- 20.1 miles (32.33 km) ---- 4.46 miles (7.17 km)
