There are so many variables to consider including where the ENH700EXT will be installed, if there is a clear line-of-site or trees or buildings in the area, where and how you will be accessing it (phone, tablet, PC, etc.), and from inside or outside of buildings, and if so, what the walls are made of, etc.  It also depends on how many people are going to be accessing it at the same time, and so on!

We install these at RV parks quite often, however we would never even try to get 3 km out of them for that type of application... probably more like 0.25 km or something! And even at that, we would put 2 or 3 units in that area just because of the number of users we would have using them!  I've found they work best if you keep the number of users down under 24 or so per unit and keep the power in the mid range! High power settings for longer range seems to support less traffic and slow things down a lot!

If you are just doing something for a few users then you could boost the power and extend the range and you MIGHT be able to connect at 1-2km or so, but I've never experienced that capability with this product!   Now if you were doing point-to- point or bridge mode or something like that, with one unit on one end and another unit on the other, then then you might get 3km out of it if you have a clear line-of-site!

Hope that helps!

Question 2

What is the broadcast range line of site of this unit?

Accepted Answer

You will have to consult with the spec sheet for this answer as the range can be extended with additional antennae. I have gotten several hundred yards with this unit as it is out of the box. It's very stable once you get it set up right.

Hope this helps!

Question 3

I have two endpoints in the field I need to connect back to a control room  What EnGenius product would I use for this point to multipoint application?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry, I am not a technical guy so I do not have the knowledge to answer the question.  What I can say is we are happy with the product we purchased.  It is meeting our needs and is a very robust piece of equipment.  After our initial purchase of four access points, we purchased three more and set up a second wireless network at another property we own.

Question 4

what router is the best to use with access point ?

Accepted Answer

Any business class router will work.. e.g. cisco ASA, Sonicwall TZ2 series, even RV042.  But it really depends on the number of clients you will expect to host.  If this is a high traffic area, Zyxel N4100 or ValuePoint networks hotspot controller.

These cost more, but they are made to host this type of traffic and allow some very cool features like bandwidth throttling, walled gardens, disclaimer pages etc.  You can setup for payment etc..if you so desired.

All depends on what you intend to do with your WAP.

I hope this helps.

Question 5

What is the maximum signal distance of this device ?

Accepted Answer

I am using the N band as backhaul down to a transceiver on our club house.  That one is approximately 300 feet.  The G-band is for connectivity up in our pavilion area which sits on a 7 acre field.  The entire field is covered at 85% of signal or better.  Since our property is wooded and separated by creek valleys for the remaining 15 acres, it is hard to tell how far it goes.

I own 2; one for the front property (10 acres) and the aforementioned back 7 for the other. Both are paired up to n-based dedicated Engenius devices that are hardwired into our network.  Once I figured out how to configure them, it was a breeze.  We run our POS systems off of them during our Oktoberfest and other festivals (Germania Society of Cincinnati) and these devices have been flawless for me.

Question 6

Does this unit support auto channel selection, and will the unit change channels as needed, or does it only do select channels on bootup?

Accepted Answer

As with any AP worth anything, it has the option of hard setting a channel, or auto-setting based upon whatever algorithm the software/hardware combination.
