Wifi Installation RV Park help!

[kpatel4]

The RV Park is about 125ft by 600ft long. I have a linksys router running to a linksys wap200 access point (hard wired) which is about 250ft into the property. Attached is a layout of the RV Park. The clients will have notebooks and the signal would have to travel through the RVs. The property also has trees along the border of the property. What I also have is a 25ft low loss cable, 15dbi hyperlink omni antenna, and a 25 foot pole where the Wap200 is located. I had this installation up, however the signal was not that good and when I was connected, the pages would not load up. I have talked to some people and they recommend putting sector panel antennas. What suggestions do you guys have? I would like to avoid using repeaters because I have been told that I lose half the speed when using a repeater. As long as 2/3 of the front and back of the pole has a good signal, then that would be fine. Thanks in advance.

I agree with using panel antennas.
I would use 1 at the main building pointing towards where you have marked the (600ft) as the distance. And another on the pole pointing in parallel to cover the far bottom corner.

I suggest using an outdoor AP with built in antenna. Many brands are available with many flavors of antenna 11dBi to 19dBi some where between 11 and 15 will do fine. Remember the typical is the higher gain antennas have a more narrow beam width. So to strong will be great for folks in the center and not so hot for the RV's off to the side of the antenna.

When you figure the cost of coax /connectors /and adapters , it can quickly add up to the cost of an all in 1 outdoor unit that only needs outdoor cat 5 cable.
I like tranzeo I don't work for them ) I like the quality of performance I get for the price. The Ap's have 2 cat 5 connectors, so in the case where you might need a second radio in the same location a short cat 5 jumper is all you need ,1 poe will power 2 radios. They are easy to configure and easy to setup.
