Setting up a mesh network

[dotnetfreak]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if anyone here has used meraki products.

Im interested on setting up a mesh network, but as always, Im on a budget, so they have a product called Meraki Outdoor, which cost $200 each access point, which is acceptable for me. (I cannot go for the MR58 for now)

My doubt is mainly which type of antenna should I use. I want to connect 5 points and the longest distance is 2.61 miles. Could I use for instance, a omni in the middle like this one: http://meraki.com/products_services/access...s/antenna_omni/

and one panel antenna for the rest pointing to the omni (http://meraki.com/products_services/accessories/antenna_panel/)

I would like to know which is the longest distance I could get with that configuration assuming I have line of sight

thanks in advance

for the directional antenna i would go with a yagi not a pannel
