<div dir="auto">Back in the days we did it with couple wifi 11Mbps devices in bridge mode. I thinks we're one of these early Linksys devices. That was the backup of the ethernet cable.

I would suggest putting a WAP on the far end linked to the air bridge <br>
(like the M5) with a cable otherwise you cut down your bandwidth if you <br>
make a device do double duty -- this applies to WiFi extenders, too.<br>
<br>
Some bridges like the M5 will allow you to have multiple links to other <br>
bridge stations so you can activate multiple buildings or areas by <br>
adding another unit (assuming you're in the appropriate beam path).<br>
