Some relatives work in farming, which means their internet is limited. We discussed this last night and it sparked an idea. I might install an antenna on my cousin’s house in the village, connecting directly to your aunt’s place. That way, we could have a point-to-point link. Things become more intriguing when considering the routes: one path leads to another cousin’s farm, while the other heads straight to the first cousin’s property. There are some security concerns, but since they’re all family and have easy access during visits, it’s still feasible right now. This is just a concept at the moment. Even with the fastest speed available in town, it would be too slow for practical use. 10mbps

Choosing a specific spot as the center of a network or a relay point isn’t new in Point to Point radio, which covers more than just Wi-Fi. If you follow this path, avoid turning the three houses into a single large “Layer 2” network since the background traffic will consume all wireless bandwidth. The typical arrangement keeps each point-to-point as its own subnet with static IPs, assigns DHCP within each house, and sets up routing between all networks.

It's a consideration right now. My ISP is still using older DSL gear in places that have upgraded to fiber, moving them to smaller areas. Pair bonding might work, possibly capping speeds at around 50 Mbps. I don't know yet if my neighborhood will get the upgrade.
