Default Need hardware advice on a 3 way bridge

I have 3 houses that I would like to get wireless to. They are arranged in the shape of a triangle. One house at the top of the hill has internet access, and the other two are approximately 300 feet away from it and each other. Each house has a clear line of site to the other houses.

What hardware would you guys suggest to get wireless from the first house to the other two houses?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

By the way- All three houses have windows that face each other. and all have a clear line of site. So outdoor equipment is not strictly necessary.

Would 3 consumer routers flashed with DD-WRT equipped with Onmi antenna at the house with the internet connection and directional antennas at the other two work?

calculator says 9 db omnis all around should work with WRT54Gs & DD-WRT

I would use 14 db patches or yagis on the bridges, but I'm a geek.

This is a classic point to multipoint

You would need 3 engenius eoc2611p units

Keenan Systems Wireless Store - EnGenius 600mW EOC2611P 802.11bg outdoor AP / Bridge w 10dBi

one 8.5dbi omni antenna

Keenan Systems Wireless Store - 8.5dBi omni directional antenna n female connector


and one pigtail

Keenan Systems Wireless Store - Pigtail rp-sma Female to n-male 2 ft


use the omni on the main house in access point mode.


use the other 2 2611p's in client bridge mode with their built in directional antenna and aim at the omni.

The remote houses can then connect a indoor AP the the 2611p ethernet port like the ecb3500
