I have had great luck with TP-Link products indoors. Outdoors I tend to use Ubiquiti Products. » www.amazon.com/NanoBridg ··· sim_pc_3A pair of these and the building mounts should have no trouble going 2km. I am normally going 'one block' distances so I use these » www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti- ··· ubiquitiBoth are WAP/antenna combos, that only need an ethernet feed, they use POE. You will reconfigure one as a Client Bridge to make a connection. |

In these screen shots, Sunflower is my main building, Fairland is my remote. I have Ubiquiti joining the sites, and TP-Links inside the buildings. I am no expert on India. » www.goip.in/products/productsFor both TP-Link and Ubiquiti, leave the main office a WAP as factory configured. For the remote office choose Client Bridge on the TP-Link, Ubiquiti calls this a Station. |

At -35 dBm signal you're in receiver overload territory, no? You might want to dial your power down and aim for -51 dBm on both ends. |

The TP-Link I would consider would be this: » www.tp-link.in/products/ ··· -WA5210GIt is designed to outdoors, and has an integrated antenna. |

Yes, but it is "G" (about 22 Mbit throughput), while the Ubiquiti devices I wanted you to use is "N" and will do 100 Mbit.
Also this device is 2.4 Ghz which is a much busier Band than the 5 Ghz devices I tried to advise you to get. |

That M2 is still a 2.4 Ghz band device. If your wireless environment is at all busy, you will be better served by the M5 5 Ghz version. » www.ebay.in/itm/Ubiquiti ··· 8554a2a7I recommend you use InSSIDer to check, if you already see devices at channels 1, 6, and 11, go with the M5. » www.metageek.net/product ··· nssider/ |

Sir I have installed the wifi device. After aligning the anterna I get Db from 20 50. Which is good? Are higher or lower Db good for wireless network? At what Db can I achieve maximum speed on my network ? |

At what Db can I achieve maximum speed on my network ? In terms of signal strength, -1 is extremely strong, while -99 is extremely weak. Generally, -51 is considered ideal, but as jimbopalmer mentioned above, in some circumstance you may want more power. The best way to answer your other questions is to test while manipulating your transmit power. |
