A simple mom and pop store is looking into setting up WIFI for an RV
park (back of facility) and customers on two sides that would access
the wifi from outside the store. The wifi is to attract users to the
store rather than to set up a business.
Here is my guestimate of what would be required, though I'm looking for
good suggestions. Note that this should run without a PC present other
than to set it up.
Take the dsl and feed it to a router such as di-804hv. [I've had good
luck with both DLink and SMC gear, with DLink providing better
support.] Now I have 4 ports For each side of the building,connect a
high power wap like Senao NL-2611 CB3 Plus. I like the idea that they
are powered over the ethernet since they means only one walwart in the
system. On each outside wall, a flat pannel antenna such as

I'd like the user about 200ft away to access the system with a low
power wifi card. I've done easily twice that distance using a 250mw
card and a homemade biquad, so I am assuming the reciprocal would be
true.
One last thing...Is there a way to prevent users on one side of the
building from accessing their wap, going through the router, then
hacking a user on a different wap connected to the router. That is
other than the users making sure file sharing is turned off.
