I have a research farm that is getting a new supervisor and hw would like to have the internet ported over to the house from the calving barn. Not a big deal but I would really appreciate some feedback from some people that have more experience than myself in setting up the bridge.
I am planning on having the wireless router in the calving area, since that is where the majority of the people are as well as the print server. I was thinking of mounting an outdoor omni directional antenna paired with a 1W amplifier to get some range around the farm and then on the house mount a directional antenna aimed towards where the calving barn is also with a 1W amplifier and a repeater inside the house connected to the antenna.
Does this sound somewhat along the right approach? I also do not know if I need the amplifier for the house or not, but seeing in terms of time vs cost of an amplifier I figured it's best to order one and use it rather than waste time that will cost more than the amplifier.
I am also looking for specific equipment recommendations for what I am setting up.
Thanks in advance.
