[ANSS-netops] ethernet bridges

[John Parker]

Hi Dave,

How many WiFi routers are you using?  Is there a way to increase the 
number of links to reduce the fade?  How about antennas?  I know most 
wifi routers are equipped with an external antenna jack.  Many 
manufacturers (Linksys) make a high gain directional antenna that might 
help your routers performance.

To my knowledge we have only used Freewaves.

Good Luck,
John
