Question 1

I need to extend the range of my Home WiFi (UVerse 2.4Ghz System) to an area about 300' from the house where the WiFi is right now. Would the ENH220EXT be appropriate? It would be outside under the eve of my roof.

How would I set it up?

Accepted Answer

it would work fine for that application you may have to change to directional antennas depending on conditions and you would set it up as an access point or use two and bridge them

Question 2

Is this 5ghz or 2.4?

Accepted Answer

2.4

Question 3

I have an EnGenius N-EnStation2 N300 Long-Range Wireless 2.4 GHz Outdoor Access Point/Bridge mounted on a building (that supplies it Internet) and I have another pole at the other end of campus to which I would like to mount this devices and connect to the wireless bridge mentioned AND use this same device as an access point to provide wifi.  Will this work?  Can it run in bridge AND access point modes at the same time AND is it compatible with that particular wireless bridge?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  In the WDS mode (and possibly the Client Bridge mode too) it communicates to the other unit on a hidden link (both need to be in the same mode on the same channel), and allows you to use it as an wireless AP and connect other nodes and AP's on the Ethernet as well.   The manual and on-line instructions show how to set it up.   Make sure you flash the latest firmware., because I have had a few that occasionally lock up in WDS mode.
