OK, let me start off by explaining my current situation.
i live deep in the mountains in a valey. as you can see from the pic below, i get my wifi from a tower on the mountain. i dont need any boosters or antenas from my house, i can get good signal straight from my macbook internal wifi.
the tower has an omni that give a nice strong open signal to the valey. the open signal is not a problem for me because there are no other people for miles. just me. so for the moment all is fine
but i need to move deeper into the mountains to continue my work. this means there will be a mountain between me and the tower. i need to put some sort of repeater or range extender on the 2nd mountain to bounce my signal.
what hardware would i need to do this? i have a spare microtik RB411 and a R52 radio card. could this be configured to do the trick, or do i need a board that can take 2 radio cards?
any ideas how i can make this happen for the least amount of cash? i know, im cheap!
getting technical help out here is hard as i am out in the sticks, and the mountain is high to climb.
please share your thoughs
