Lets hope the person in between is not a ham or a short wave listener then.

Some time ago, I asked about setting up a link between two properties -
over and down a road. Not a huge distance. Line of sight except when a
lorry is delivering something.

A direct connection using a standard LAN extender proved not to be up to
it, so I decided to do it properly. Got a pair of devices and set them
up.

TP-LINK CPE510 Pharos Outdoor 5Ghz 13dBi WiFi 4 Point-to-Point PtP Link

Easy to set up. Simple POE. Can be used outside.

I found that one can be placed on a window sill, so a pane of glass is in
the way. The other is in the garage, through the single-brick wall
immediately adjacent to the garage door. Despite this, they work very
well. If they didn't, I have options for putting them actually outside.
(I am sure that for a greater distance, it would have to be outside.)

In the remote property, an Ethernet cable from the CPE510 to an older
Netgear LAN extender/AP covers the whole property just fine - on both 5
and 2 GHz. Things like printing and file sharing are exactly the same as
in the prime property.

I know this is a more costly approach, but I have future plans which
justify doing this. It also feels good that it worked straight away and
did not need playing about and fettling. No feeling of good money after
bad because the first idea didn't work.


What do you call "not a great distance"?

I have something similar to do but not at the price of the CPE510.

TBH I was considering using a socket wifi extender. Possibly something
from here

All I want is the next door but one neighbours to have access to my wifi.
And there is a good reason for this.
