Extended wireless connectivity
I need a solution to boost your Wi-Fi signal 200 meters with a strong line of sight. From there, connect to a router or switch so your devices get maximum speed and minimal delay. You have a 1000Mbps connection and want the best possible performance at the receiving end. I’m unsure which device would work best—what system should I choose?
I noticed those products but they come with a high price tag. I don’t require long ranges or 6Gbps speeds since my internet connection isn’t that fast. Still, thank you for suggesting Ubiquiti; I’ve looked at their options but I’m unsure if the AirMax GigaBeam 60 GHz is the most value or if I should consider the TP-Link EAP610 Outdoor instead.
The version Linus was using supports 60 GHz alongside 5 GHz with failover functionality. Bukiiti provides both 2.4 and 5 GHz options, though they may be slower. The TP Link appears to function as an access point, while Ubiquiti Air Fiber is designed for site-to-site wireless connections, requiring two devices to link directly. Access points typically offer shorter ranges, whereas site-to-site solutions are built for extended distances.
It was challenging to maintain a consistent connection across the area even on 2.4GHz with a standard access point. Using a 5GHz model likely wouldn't work well because of signal loss through walls. An outdoor AP would probably perform better. With Ubiquiti LiteBeam setups, I managed around 100Mbit when placed correctly, but the tree interference reduced it to about 400Mbit.
