Will a Cisco 350 AP (AIR-AP352E2R-A-K9) and 350 Workgroup Bridge (AIR-WGB352R) combination work at long distances (5-10+ miles), given sufficient antenna gain and good LOS/Fresnel conditions ... just as well and reliably as less costly consumer-grade equipment?
Or did Cisco intentionally cripple the 350 AP, as some old posts seem to suggest, to limit the AP-WGB combination to 1-2 miles, even with external antennas ... to force you to have to buy a pair of their
350 Wireless Bridges (BR350-A-K9) to do long distance?The 350 AP and WGB can be had for reasonable prices nowadays on eBay, but the BR is still at stratospheric prices even on eBay. I am wondering if it is possible to do long distance using just the AP-WGB combination, instead of BR-BR.
