looking to setup wifi hotspot for Campground

    looking to setup wifi hotspot for Campground

    I need to design and setup a wireless network for customer wifi access at a campground. There are two areas that need to be blanketed. One is 600 foot radius and another area is about 300 foot radius. Between the 2 areas is the campground store that current has wifi being served by a Cisco 877w that is cranked up all the way on stock antennas. Most of the equipment would probably need to be outdoor capable.

     Any thoughts on what equipment to use for this would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Well, here's 2 outdoor omni-directional antennas for a start. One is 8dBi and the other is 10dBi. The 10dBi MIGHT cover the whole thing at once if you mount it on top of the campground store. But most routers do need 2 of them. You'll have to check.

    Gotta start somewhere.. 

    Just a thought.
