Today in the office weve been playing with old wireless bridging gear. A client of ours is moving offices (literally across the car park) and the telco doesnt yet have wayleave to move their internet circuit.
So we dropped off 2 spare antennae (Cisco directional 13db Yagis AIR-ANT1949) for their handyman to install at each office and then started attacking the config for the bridges themselves.
It worked, it didnt work, it registered, it didnt - all over the damn place!
Then I read a page found from a google search that said to upgrade to firmware 12.05 (which I eventually tracked down on some obscure Japanese website). 2 quick uploads later and we have the steadiest wireless bridge ever to grace this fair land. Admittedly, it is currently running between 2 antennas that are about 4ft from each other...
Next step - make it slightly more secure and test it, test it, test it - while putting them further and further away of course :)
Once this install has been done we still have 2 more complete bridge setups (4 Aironet 350 Wireless Bridges and 4 Cisco Yagi antennae) that I am hoping we can do exactly the same with. Money for old rope *plus* my and my guys have learnt some new skills...
