How to connect two independet LANs wirelessly

[ojjgve]

Hi

is it possible to connect 2 completely independent LAN (two different IP subnets, two buildings across the street one of other) wirelessly?

I've been googling and only see bridge solutions, how about some sort of routing via wireless; is it feasible?

Best Regards

I have not seen a wireless brouter.

Have you checked out Extreme Networks products? They now have a switch that has wireless capabilities. Example: The switch has 24/48 ports, and each port can have a wireless access point connected to it via POE. The access points are just dumb radios used for transmitting and receiving.
On this switch you can set up VLANs so you could possibly do what you are wanting with these.
Just a note: The Extreme gear is pricey but a VERY good product.

of course. you can do it with linksys boxes. use a wireless router on one side, with one subnet on the lan behind it. then use a wireless bridge or access point set up as a client to that subnet. behind that, connected with cat5, have a non-wireless router, with it's "wan" ethernet interface on the first subnet and the default gateway of the first subnet. put it's lan ethernet on a second subnet. add static routes if you have to but you shouldn't have to.
