Wireless Bridge

Hello Everybody,

I have a couple of wireless bridges using various APs like the Dlink
3200AP, Dlink DWL900+, Dlink 2100, Netgear WAG102, etc. I have
external antennas on all of them. My longest bridge is about 2 miles.
None of thses have signal strength when in PTP Bridge mode. Is anyone
aware of an inexpensive AP which does?

Also, The 3200AP has dual antennas and runs in PtMP mode with three
2100APs. Can I have two antennas on it pointing in different
directions? I have a directional antenna which points back to the main
building and an omni which I use to connect two building which are
about 500' from the tower the 3200AP is on.

Also(2), I have a problem with the Dlink bridge when I move large files
accross it. I have a video security server which generates video which
are anywhere from 5-50M in size. When I watch the video it will freeze
the bridge. I've tried doing a ping test during it and the pings
skyrocket and I get all kinds of lost packets.

Any help?

JV
