Does your Mikrotik router keep going down?

·

For campground and RV Park owners who are managing their own wireless network, a quality router that is reliable and easy to use, but also cost effective is important.  We often get calls regarding networks that are down due to a failed router, and recently many of those calls have been regarding a Mikrotik router that has failed.

If you are not charging for Wi-Fi access, and do not require individual user names and passwords for each device on your network then the quick and easy fix is to use the following TP Link router which offers bandwidth control, and ability to setup a splash page for your wireless network.  We use the ER5120 quite often and rarely have a complaint.

We recommend this router for up to 300 or so devices.  Beyond that, you may want to consider a more commercial grade router, or hotspot gateway for bandwidth control like the Nomadix AG2500.

For more information on these, or any other type of hotspot solution, call GNS Wireless direct at (516) 214-0321.

Upgrading existing Ubiquiti Wi-Fi equipment in a Campground

·

Does your Campground Wi-Fi need upgrading?  With winter around the corner here in the North East, we are in our busy season fixing and repairing old or outdated wireless networks at local campgrounds and RV Parks.  Much of what we see is Ubiquiti Wi-Fi access points like nanostations, or bullets not working any more, or unable to handle the load of more than a few guests.  The nanostation NSM2 and NSM5 are great access points.  We still use them for quick Wi-Fi fixes for large outdoor areas like backyards and swimming pools here on Long Island.  Easy to install, and they throw the signal a few hundred feet.  But for campground wi-fi, we choose to replace the old ubiquiti wi-fi gear with more commercial grade equipment like Cambium or Mimosa which can handle more traffic, more guests per access point, and is much more reliable.

If you are looking to replace or update your campground wireless network, now is the time.  Contact GNS Wireless today for a free site survey, and park evaluation.  We will provide an overview with estimated coverage area, and help you figure out exactly what equipment is right for you.   Call us today at (516) 214-0321

Oil Refinery Wi-Fi Data Bridge | GNS Wireless LLC.

A point to point wireless data bridge has many usage scenarios.  We recently had a customer install the GNS-1155Ac PTP between an oil platform and land based monitoring station.  The request was for a high throughput point to point, with high reliability and low latency between two locations at just over 1 mile.  Line of sight was wide open, clear and unobstructed so the GNS-1155AC was a great solution.  Antennas were mounted at  just over 60ft. high.   The results were fantastic with data throughput over 100Mbps.  Because of the integrated 23dBi antenna used with the bridge, wind resistance is very low, and at just over 7lbs per radio, multiple mounting options were available.

The GNS-1155AC wireless data bridge includes the following:

  • 23dBi Integrated Antennas
  • 48V Gigabit POE Injectors (power over Ethernet)
  • 20/40/80 MHz Channel Width
  • 500Mbps Throughput
  • Full 5GHz Frequency Spectrum

For more information on point to point wireless solutions, or to find out if Wi-Fi will work for your application, contact one of the techs at GNS Wireless today.  You can call us direct at (516) 214-0321.  If you have latitude and longitude coordinates, you can also email those to support @ gnswireless.com for a free path analysis.

DLB520AC

802.11AC Slim Line Wireless Bridge

The Ligowave DLB 5-20AC is an outdoor rated, 5GHz 11ac MIMO radio with integrated 20 dBi directional panel antenna for use in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless IP data applications. It Includes a PoE with power cord and free download of remote management system.

500+ Mbps throughput – a result of powerful hardware platform with 802.11ac technology based radio and a proprietary data transmission protocol (iPoll). Incorporating a QCA 9563 CPU (750 MHz), a QCA 9882 radio and 64 MBytes of RAM and 16 MBytes of ash memory the, LigoDLBac series devices are an ideal solution for capacity demanding applications. State of the art RF design with great output power and sensitivity parameters improve range and capacity over the highest modulation – 256 QAM. The 24V Gigabit Ethernet port (passive PoE) allows utilizing the full capacity of the radio when used in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint network design. Ligo DLB5-20ac series devices are backwards compatible with LigoDLB devices using iPoll mode, which helps to expand or upgrade existing networks using the latest technologies over time.

What is the default IP Address of the Ligowave DLB 5-20AC?

The Default IP address of the DLB series of access points, and point to point bridge antennas is set to obtain an IP address automatically from your DHCP server (router).  If you are connecting directly to the Ligowave DLB 5-20AC, or DLB 5-15AC, or do not have a DHCP server on your network, then the unit will default to 192.168.2.66.

What is the default username and password for Ligowave DLB5-20AC, or DLB5-15AC?

How to position Wi-Fi Access Points | GNS Wireless LLC.

·

Major Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) manufacturers recommend mounting Wi-Fi Access Points horizontally for optimum performance. For outdoor 802.11AC Wi-Fi Access Points, GNS Wireless carries an array of wall mount hardware for positioning the AP correctly for optimum coverage.  Right Angle Wall Brackets, Universal Antenna Mounts, or non-penetrating roof mounts are a simple solution for installing the Wi-Fi Access Point correctly on a wall or rooftop.
