How to build a Network for LAN-LAN Wireless Connection using tp-link products?

In the construction of enterprise network, it’s normal that each department locates in the different buildings. Limited by geography, interconnecting these buildings would cost a lot. For this case, we can consider using TP-LINK Pharos series products to build up a wireless link between two locations. In this way, all departments are able to communicate and share resources with each other.

What are the basic needs of the network for LAN-LAN wireless connection?

Normally, a network for LAN-LAN wireless connection should meet the following needs:

1. Wireless link should be fast and stable for normally visiting intranet and internet.
2. Provide information security; there is no access to network without permission.
3. Different departments possess different access permission.
4. All departments share the same internet egress and server group.

 

What kind of solution can meet the needs of the LAN-LAN wireless network?

Here we provide a full solution including the network topology, product features and parameters.
