Hi hope someone can help, we have a log cabin on our property which is situated approx 70 mtrs from our house in a direct line through quite a few trees. We are looking to set up a wifi hotspot for the cabin which shares our houses broadband connection. I am considering the Zenbu router for the Hotspot side of things but I'm guessing that this router will only provide a very weak signal or none at all in the cabin as our current wireless N router can not be picked up. To get around this I was also thinking of purchasing a Ubiquiti NanoStation2 NS2 802.11b/g 400mW Outdoor AP/Bridge and mounting this on a shed about 55mtrs in direct sight with the cabin. If I understand correctly I could run a POE cable (approx 20 mtrs) from the monitored port of the Zenbu router in the house to the Nanostation and this will still give us the hotspot authentication etc were after and hopefully a good wifi signal in the cabin. Before I spend any money on this setup, does this sound like a logical system that could do what were after or does anyone have any other suggestions? I guess aswell I'm not sure what kind of range you can achieve with these Nanostation AP's so if anyone has used them before it would be great to know. Cheers
