[MLB-WIRELESS] Passive repeater

[Ben Holko]

hey all,

ha anyone had any experience with a passive 802.11b repeater setup?

something like:

wired lan <--> antenna <--> 802.11b(20km's) <--> antenna <--> coax <-->
antenna <--> 802.11b(200m's) <--> antenna <--> coax <--> wired lan

basically I need to send a link over a long distance (~20km's), then bounce
it (~200m's) to maintain LOS. I dont really want to put a wlan device(s) in
the middle. I'm thinking galaxy antennas for long range, then bouncing the
rest of the way using cantennas or something.

Is this possible? I seem to remember something about losing 50% of signal by
passively bouncing like this?

Ben
