Default wireless bridge to multiple AP's

i have a hotel, 2 buildings seperated by a 2 lane road, about 150 ft apart, direct line of sight, no interference. the remote building will have several access points for coverage of those guests and rooms. my query is what do i need to receive the signal at the remote building that will allow multiple AP's to connect to my base station? i figured a panel antenna sending signal to omni-directional antenna on remote building, one AP set to bridge on remote building but what about the other AP's on remote? i have complete control of base station, no servers, just multiple AP's connected to gateway with splash page for user/pass. i googled my *** off for info on this and cannot find anything on this kind of configuration. everything is bridge to 1 other device, not multiple devices. probably easier to get a second ISP account for the other building, huh? thanks to any and all

for this what u need at the remote building are
1. at the base station u need say an EOC2611P from Engenius Tech, Inc., configured as the central main access point AP with a high gain omni antenna.
2.at the remote site u need the same kind of radio but this time configured as a bridge with a flat panel antenna, that is if the embedded internal antenna does not serve ur purpose.
after the configuration and set up and associating the bridge to the AP, then plug in the bridge radio ethernet cable into a switch and from this switch have all the other AP'S to be used at the remote site configured and also plugged in.
let me know how it went

one in AP mode the other in CB mode.


The in the second building connect the CB to a switch and use the

ecb3500's for AP's inside the building
