This mirrors my experience pretty closely and I think is really good advice, especially the comment regarding RF performance. Dedicated APs (especially the Ubiquiti devices) seem to have far superior performance than anything I've ever built myself.
I ended up buying an APU1C to play with, but in the end that's all I'm doing with it.
- ErikRogneby 12y agoThanks for the vote of confidence on Ubiquiti. I am looking to get internet out to an off grid cabin about 250 ft from my main dwelling. I was thinking of running cat5 out to a PoE device, but just running a weather proof AP up a pole on my roof will be a lot easier.
- windexh8er 12y agoI have a pair of their devices doing just this. I'm using a NanoStation M and a Rocket M with a sector. I get a nice 300Mb link between the two buildings (roughly 300 ft apart) and I spray wireless over a dock within range where I run an IP camera. Both units have survived, now, 3 brutal midwestern winters and I've remotely upgraded them well over 20 times over that time period. They have been nothing short of impressive for the price. Skip the hardline, unless you need more bandwidth than a few hundred megs!
