What towers should I use for my Access Point antennas?

Michwave Technologies
Trylon "Titan" tower models T200-72 and T200-96 are very popular and inexpensive. The new Rohn SCL towers are also available in heights from 40' to 100'. Rohn SSV series are recommended for heights of 100-150 feet. Check out AN Wireless towers also. As towers may fall under local zoning ordinances, you may also wish to consider water towers, grain elevators or utility poles as other options.

What wireless antennas should I use for Point to Point wireless data transmission?

Futurelink Global Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions
Directional antennas should be used for point-to-point wireless transmission. The type of directional antenna depends upon the power output, cable type and length, height, distance, data rate and terrain. We recommend the use of a range table to estimate the wireless antenna types. Whichever wireless antenna you choose, make sure that it is FCC certified with your radio! See similar questions...

How high should I place my outdoor Access Point antennas?

Michwave Technologies
This depends upon a lot of factors. If you have a building with roof access, this is usually the best option, since the feedline losses may be minimized if the equipment can be placed near the antennas. A minimum height is usually around 75 feet. This places the antennas above most trees. This height will also give a radio horizon of approximately 12 miles, assuming flat terrain. If you have taller trees, or tall buildings nearby, you may wish to use an antenna height of 200 feet or more. See similar questions...

Can I use my wireless access point or switch/router?

ResNet @ UNI
No. Wireless access points, switches, and routers are not allowed on ResNet. This is because of the way IP addresses (the way your machine is identified on the network) are assigned. Wireless can easily be used by other people you do not intend to be using your access point - allowing them to decrease your bandwith as well as possibly harm your computer. See similar questions...
