Point to Point link with no line of sight?
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WA7510N
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi guys,
Please could anyone give me some advice with an installation I'm doing at the moment.
I need to supply internet access from a main office to outside building about 300 meters away.
I was told that there is a clear line of site so I purchased two TP link TL-wa7510n AP's.
When I got to the site I soon found out that there is not a clear line of sight as the main office is onto of a hill & the outside building is way below it.
The best way to describe it is with this image (that looks like my 5 year old done)
The only way I could get it to work is if the AP on the outside buiding was 8 meters off the floor, as when I stood on the roof holding a 2 meter pole I could quite a good signal. I'm sure I had both set up in stanard ap mode
This cant be a permanent as the winds get so bad on this site it would last a few weeks.
Is there any thing I could install at a half way point and how would I set it up?
Or I dont mind getting different equipment to get this to work.
Many thanks.
