Model : TL-WA7210N

Hardware Version : Not Known

Firmware Version :

ISP : Virgin Media

Hi all,

Firstly I had already purchased the TL-WA7210N before coming across this site and I know there is a newer model but I believe this should meet my needs and it was cheaper. My house is CAT6 networked with a cable running to my separated garage. I have an area of approx 30m either side of where the 7210 will be mounted (on my garage) with the omni on a horizontal flat plane 15m wide with no direct obstructions in the way. Both will be mounted approx 7 to 8ft above ground level with no upper floor areas to cover. I know I have to select external antenna within the 7210 and would like to know if this setup should be OK?

(1) Do I need to ground the 7210 and omni? If so, where and how?
(2) I want this kit to run 24/7 with it being accessed every day by no more than 4 users but on occasions may be upto 12. However, I read somewhere that the 7210 reboots itself or needs to be every 5 days, is this true and why?
(3) Does the omni ANT2415D need any external power or is being connected to the 7210 sufficient?

(4) The cable in my garage is connected to my Virgin Media Superb 2, which setting do I require to create the outdoor wireless coverage I need. Access Point or AP Router?

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance,

Steve.
