My parents have a large, old farm house. Several rooms have some type of
foil/metal under the plaster giving reduced wireless speeds and dead
spots. Coverage outside is nearly non-existent. Normally I'd run some
cat5 and put in a few APs, but this is not feasible at their house. I
have played with 802.11s with 3 routers in the not too distant past (I
borrowed one from work, but it's back now / DIR-835). My DIR-825 and the
DIR-835 connected fine with authsae, but my DIR-615 would only work if I
removed encryption. I also have a couple old Linksys WRT54G/GS routers,
but had little success with those at the time. I realize some or most
here wont be able to give specifics using OpenWRT on that hardware, but
any general info would be appreciated.
I'm wondering if a couple dual band routers, hopefully the same model,
would work with reasonable speeds. I'm thinking that if the 5.8ghz
radios were meshed and bridged to the 2.4 radios in AP mode that would
do the trick. Potentially there would be multiple hops (2-4) involved I
put an AP in the detached garage. Can anyone give me some insight on
whether this is feasible to do?
