aironet 350 replacement open original image

I am looking to replace my 350 because one is having an intermittent failure. I am using them in a point to point configuration between two buildings about 1/4 mile apart using a yagi antenna. Worked fine until the intermittent failure.



I am looking at the aironet 1240, 1230 and 1310. From the documentation it seems all would work. Only the antenna is outside so doesn't need to be rugged. APs are inside buiding powerered by power injectors.



Anyone have a suggestion for one of these or something else. Have any pros or cons?



Mike



Hi Mike,

Regarding intermittent failure, you may wish to investigate:

Thanks Brad,

Already tried a replacement 350 (borrowed) same configuration and it has worked fine for a week. Need to give back the AP

It may not be worth repairing.

Any one of the 1230, 1240 or 1310 would do the job. The 1310 is ruggedized for outdoor use, and also supports longer bridging distances (not relevant in your case.)

Unless you need to put the AP outdoors, I would get the 1240, as it supports both 11g and 11a (might be nice to bridge using 11a, because it would avoid interference on the increasingly congested 2.4GHz band), and because it has more RAM/flash and a faster processor than the 1230.

Regards,

Aaron
