I wanna say that I'm feeling quite accomplished today.
Finally got my outdoor wifi access points correctly networked. I've had these in the boxes for over 3 years because I had been intimidated. However, I started this venture Sunday. 4 days later, back and forth with tech support via email, and I FINALLY have them working like they should. The cool thing is they can span miles if needed. Luckily -- they just have to go about 100 yards. I'm stoked about the added options I'll now have down at my barn -- IP cameras, Roku, Chromecast, Android box, etc.
I have Nest wifi cameras at the house, and a 4 camera CCTV system down at the barn; they are on a 1TB drive with continuous read/write. The system is network capable, but I've just had it holding about 1 week's worth at a time.
Now, I can have one bridge/AP down at the barn, plug a LAN cable into it, run it to a router, then run a LAN out of the router into the CCTV hub. Then, I'll be able to watch my CCTV via phone/web. I can also add 4 more cameras if I want. Hell, I can even plug in another omni-directional antenna and really boost the sign
Anyway -- if anyone is after such a setup, holler, and I'll do the best I can to help.
This is basically what you'd need; 2 of these: https://www.engeniustech.com/engeniu...int-ens202ext/ . Mine are the ENS202 models; these new models are upgraded with external antennae, whereas mine are internal.
