Model: EAP211-Bridge KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I am setting up a Wifi bridge between 8 total buildings - Just want to know if this model or the EAP215 supports 1 master with 7 slaves. Since its wifi are they direct line of site?

3 buildings won't have LOS to the main building hence the WIFI bridge instead of a point to point system.

 

THe network will only be transmitting security camera's.

 

I can't find any literature about adding more slave or if they repeat similar to a mesh.

Hi @JJennings107 

 

Only 4 Sub EAPs can be added at most:

 

And we can't build a string mesh network with EAP Bridge models like below.

Thank you

 

Do they need LOS? or Could i do somethink like this - I normally just build ubuquiti PTP but the cost is going to be to much for the client, so trying an alternate solution

 

Buildings 4,5,6,7 Connected to Bridge 1  -- 13- 4k camera's

Buildings 1,2,3 Connected to Bridge 2 -- 13- 4k camera's

Some questions:

 

Is this is solely for the camera traffic, homing back to the main building?

Are the units each able to order their own internet connection from a local provider?

What is the anticipated bitrate from each camera?

Are cameras on a given building hardwired and uplinked with a wireless unit?

 

My concerns would be around contention for the 5.8G unlicensed band if there are 50+ consumer router/APs blasting.  This is exponentially of concern if the cameras are expecting to connect wirelessly.

 

Building 7 is going to be a problem which will likely need it's own solution back to Main.
