Well, I could think of a few things you could do. Which Senao model are you using? Sounds like you are using 802.11b right? 802.11b is nice, but it just doesn't have the throughput that g has. Remember this, just because it says 11Mbps, or 54Mbps doesn't mean that you really have that speed. Especially in wireless. That is based on a perfect environment. If you plug an Ethernet cable into your PC and it pops up and says you have a 100Mbps speed, you really do not have a 100Mbps  . I use the ECB-3220's on a regular bases, but not at the distances you are using them for. One solution, would be to get a router that has more functionality than the Senao AP / Bridge. If you do so, you will have a more control. This is a more expensive solution, but you could fix this problem, and be able to use the routers for so much more. Another thing is to move these AP / Bridge closer. I don't see how you are getting them to work now. I work with wireless signals on a daily bases, ans haven't ever been able to get those Senaos to reach that far. I guess you know something I don't know Are you sure that your distance is 2 km? Not saying you're not correct, but that seems like a long distance. Another solution, would to be to run these in 802.11g and add one more to the link. Another suggestion, would be to get a different type of directional antenna. Maybe go to a 1% or 2% directional. Let me know if this helped you.  |
