It's a modest brick home with just four walls. It's not an apartment or anything like that. Located between two CPEs, about 250 meters from both access points and the client.
I had to discontinue using 2.4Ghz for PtP due to interference from nearby WiFi networks resulting in poor speeds. Outside areas can lead to conflicts with other homes' signals over wide distances. @Ashvin Srinivasan In theory, you'd benefit from 5Ghz or even 60Ghz, placing transmitters above buildings instead of forcing them through. It could be effective, though it carries some risk.
Even with a small number of trees, 2.4GHz signals can still reach, though speeds and delays may vary. Picture the actual performance if a solid barrier blocks the path. Be aware that your home isn’t just made of concrete—it could have its own WiFi network, adding more interference. For best PtP connections, you need not only a clear line of sight but also a clear Fresnel zone. Raising the antennae at both ends helps minimize obstruction inside the zone and improves the link quality.
I have a 5GHz connection using a few Ubiquiti LiteBeam 5AC 23 units. It seems to work well despite obstacles like trees and thick walls. I initially planned outdoor installation but didn’t try it. The setup appears to function reasonably for a 100Mbit link in this arrangement. It’s possible the signal isn’t traveling in a direct line of sight, but rather reflecting off surfaces at an angle from an inset balcony. One possibility is that moving the dish indoors stabilizes the connection, though this reduces speed since not all signal reaches the dish. The signal is very sensitive to environmental changes—wind, rain, and branches can cause big fluctuations. Compared to 2.4GHz, it offers clearer performance without interference from nearby users. Overall, a viable alternative exists, but setting it up inside an entire house is unlikely due to signal blockage by people and objects.
It's the unique feature. Raising the antennae at both ends probably improves performance. AirMax gadgets let you use signal meters to aid placement. Certain configurations even include displays at each end for better alignment.
The newer devices include scopes, but if both sides were outside I’d assume full link speed would be maintained even with the tree. The main issue is its immediate neighbours’ trees, which are blocking part of the Fresnel zone and the trunk, though they’re not actively trimming it. Over time this will worsen. I haven’t been there since the pandemic because of safety measures, but the system still works. I had to narrow the channel width since one polarization was dropping below the other, lowering MIMO performance. It’s really interesting how channel width impacts stability.
