Hello gentlemen,
I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now and I'd like to say you've got quite a wealth of information on this site. I am helping my parents setup a wifi link from their house to my dad's plumbing shop and I would love to hear your opinions on the matter.
Here are the numbers:
370' -RF LOS
81.1 dB -Free Space Loss
-42.9 dBm -Rx Signal Level
27.1 dB -System Operating Margin
6.15' -Fresnel Zone
3/$50.00- ZyXEL P-330WC
2/$42.20- Rootenna/ RP-SMA antenna connection/ Fab-Corp
1/$39.00- ZyXEL USB Wireless adapter
Homebrew PoE
--------------------
Link Budget= $400.00
I'm a bit concerned about the cold Minnesota weather affecting the AP's in the Rootenna...do you think they will be fine? My only other question is the use of outdoor Cat5, I'm having trouble finding a reasonable priced retailer...any suggestions? Please slap me upside the head if there is anything I may have overlooked.
There may be more appropriate forums to post this on but you guys know your shit. In addition, I learned a LOT from you "assholes" and I just wanted to say thank you!
