Post your questions about the EAP-3660 here.

It is a 600mW indoor ap with support for PoE, WDS, VLAN and multi ssid.

http://www.keenansystems.com/engenius_senao_600mw_802bg_EAP-3660.htm

The unit ships with a 110v to 12v power cube for PoE it requires a 48v injector like this one

There is a built in antenna that sends the signal up and down so you may be able to cover multiple floors.

I am trying without success to configure an EAP-3660 as a multi-SSID repeater, involving one Engenius AP running B and one Actiontec MI424WR running G on separate subnets.

Clients on both networks can see the EAP-3660 but do not associate and no traffic passes. I have the respective MAC addresses of the two APs in the EAP-3660 WDS setup menu, but no joy.

The Engenius setup manual is void of references to multi-SSID and the "Spanning Tree" menu (if that's even relevant).

Thanks.

WDS repeater only works between the same devices ie 2: eap-3660's SSID can be different MAC must be configured in both.

Universal repeater mode will work with any AP but SSID must be the same.

more info here on on config for the 2 repeater modes

I have a campground with 2 meeting halls 500 feet apart. These 2 buildings have line of sight to a second floor corner of each building.

Building A has a cable modem upstairs and meeting rooms on the first and second floor.

Building B has a meeting room on the first floor.

I would like to use an eap-3660 on the upper floor of Building A to provide wireless G coverage to both floors and an eap-3660 to provide wireless G on the first floor of building B.

Building A will need a router as well. I want all 600 MW equipment if possible.

Do you think the eap-3660 has enough range between them to cover the 500 feet, or do I need a point to point solution such as the EOC2610 as well?

If necessary, there is a building in between the two meeting halls where I could use a third eap3660, if that is a better solution than the EOC2610. Remember I want coverage to surrounding buildings if possible.

as a side benefit, there are groups of dorms around the meeting halls in about a 300 feet radius that we would like to cover.

I am trying to keep my costs in the $400 range. I realize that may not be possible, but I need to stay as close as possible to that.

hello, You should use 2 eoc-2610's to bridge the buildings on channel 1

and then one eap-3660 in each buildings on channels 6 and 11

you can use the esr-1221 ext for a router with the wireless interface disabled.

The eor-7550's would work but my idea would be better.

Everything is in stock either way.
