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 ...
I am using an EnGenius ENS202 to do exactly what you are describing. I put the EnGenius in a static IP mode then tell the ORBI to reserve that IP address for the EnGenius wireless bridge. There is only one ethernet connector on the EnGenius but that's all I needed. It sits about 75 feet away from the main Orbi router through a concrete/stucco wall and has enough signal strength to run my attached device on 2.4gHz. Has worked flawlessly for over 3 years in AZ heat and monsoonal weather.
Unfortunately, they discontinued that model but replacement models are available. Other companies make similar products. Good Luck!
Thanks, thats really helpful. Thats what I was originally looking for. Now debating that (similar outdoor bridge as static IP) vs the previously mentioned housing on an RBS50.
appreciate the lead on that though.
