RBR50 - RBS50 need outdoor access point
I have an RBR50 connected to 3 RBS50s and an RBS50Y on the way to sit outside and extend the network into the yard. I need some sort of a wireless access point at the end of a driveway for a camera ...
FURRYe38, as far as I understand the problem, it's less a question of absolute range (although that might very well be another aspect) - but rather of finding a way to wirelessly connect ethernet-only devices to the network. With indoor devices such as the RBS50, this is easily possible (wireless backhaul, using the RBS50's ethernet ports to connect the wired devcies - all you need is power), but I'm not aware of an outdoor equivalent (the RBS50Y is weather proof, but offers no ethernet port for further wired devices to use).
ick. Thats not a glowing review on RBS50Y.
