If you want to cover more than the 2km you need to use outdoor gear on the client side too as in built wireless cards foot have high gain antennas thus will connect to an access point 100-300m away but depends on the path loss and obstacles in between.

hi, The coverage will depend on the terain arrangement of the areas you intend to cover But would recommend XR2 on Mikrotk 15-20dbi. 1.5km is a bit on the higher side if its to be indoor usage.

Fellow Techies,
Am in a project that involves setting up of several hotspots in Nairobi. I have setup Mikrotik routers (server based) to handle the backend. I urgently need access points that can cover btn 1.5 to 2Km radius.
Please do not recommend: Mikrotik Access points, Nano station nor Strix.
I will really appreciate your effort.
