erre191 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Hi- Any experts with ideas? I need to get WIFI access to a 9 story building, 20 m wide. This needs to be done from the outside via WIFI access points, that projects/transmits the signal to the condos/windows. The problem is that we only have about 8 m distance from the building to install these transmitters. It was no problem in the front where we installed about 30m from the building and the angle/signal covers all floors easily. Is there any special product/antenna with a very wide angle to get all the way to the 9th. floor? Any ideas? Thank you.

kuffki Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I am no expert, but from what i know, if you get the "signal booster" it should solve the problem. Booster have wider/longer range and are stronger in terms of signal penetrating some walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzydave Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 From my understanding of the problem, you need to get a reliable signal into the 9 story building, which is also 20M wide, but can only set the AP back 8M from the building. In order to get a reliable signal over that distance, through a window (possibly tinted), you will need either gain antenna or 'signal booster' / amplifier The other issue you face is to getting coverage for 9 stories from one antenna - some of the signal will be directed to the ceiling unless you can elevate the AP to the same height as the windows (on each story of the target building) I suspect you will need multipl AP's (MIMO type) with gain antenna, plus some means to elevate some AP's, or look at a method installing the AP in the building.

oakweb Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I setup my building with all dd-wrt routers, daisy chained from the main router downstairs. The reason why I have two here, is that one is a VPN connecting router, the other just regular Thai Internet. I did that on every floor. I guess I could have bridged it but I have not played with that setting yet, and I wanted to keep it simple. If I understand you right, you want the routers on the outside? With weather and all, probably not a good idea. You can contact Bill from Sabaii Tech from the links on this page http://www.strongvpn.com/routers.shtml Very helpful and probably knows how to pull this off.

saengsureeya Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 What ever you think of, please think twice if you think about engaging Kirz in Pattaya. They offer systems for your building........... Example Vale Casa along Naklua Road: accessible for only THB 999 per month; speed 1.5 MB; going on and off. Service is excellent: phone and within the hour they're there, but performance is bad!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Havea look for Senao long range wireless access points. Outdoor models are available with different antenna configurations. Can get them in Fortune. Edited February 28, 2011 by Crushdepth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
