I have a client that represents an RV park. They're looking to build several cabins (between 8 and 10 of them) that will be entirely made out of metal.
They have existing Ruckus WiFi APs throughout the park from a separate vendor.
They have built one of the cabins already, and as expected the WiFi is basically unusable inside it. Signal right outside the building is -50ish dBm on 5Ghz and -40ish on 2.4Ghz as measured from a laptop. From where they plan to build the remaining cabins, I'd expect signal outside the building to be about the same on each of them.
What's a good Mikrotik-based solution to accommodate them? Would something like a SXTsq Lite5 outside to handle the point-to-point to the existing APs connected to something like a hAP/mAP/whatever, be a viable solution? Should I consider a device that will allow 2 separate WiFi cards (one of inside, and one with antennas that would be outside)?
Useable bandwidth requirements are quite low. Each cabin can only accommodate 2 people max, and each client is currently throttled to 20Mbps.
I understand that a 60Ghz solution for the PtP would be ideal, but given that there is sufficient 5/2.4Ghz signal outside the cabins, and the highest possible bandwidth and lowest latency aren't really required, I'd rather do this using the existing WiFi APs.
