    Sorry. I can not acsept it as a solution. Beacause nether thre solution notr the explanation why in is "impossible" was provided. And even if it was - you where wrong in  the first place. As for the acseptable solution - I went ahead and bought WND930 and tested the seperate antenna placement.

    And guess what - it worked. Antennas seperated in to two zones work perfectly!

     

    BTW the final call was to switch the intire operation to Cisco. Just so you know.

Dj_Scott,

 

I believe the set-up that you want is not possible.

    Dj_Scott,

     

    There is no option in the web-GUI of the WND930 where you could specify any of the 4 external antennas to be in one zone (either inside zone or outside zone).  The best option is to place the WND930 with external antennas to a place where its in the middle of the indoor and outdoor premises.  Then, create a wireless network for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

      Yes. There is mo place to specify it not in GUE nor over SSH.

      But if I dont need those 2 networks separated, and they can share SSID, channel whatever?

      What I say it - theoretically nothing stops it wrom working. I'll split the power obviously. But that's a fair traidoff.

       

      I can not put it in the middle. As I mentioned earlier it's a sound stage. A metal hangar with an exelent grounding on every side.
