Sending Wifi 400m

gutteruu

Looking to share my wifi with my sister who lives about 3-400m away. I have line of site from the top of my gable to her house, but its in between 2 houses that have wifi (maybe interference issues?).

What is the best (and cheapest) way to do it ?

Use 5ghz outdoor units

Run "outdoor" network cable to them

A pair of something like these :

Then put something like this little thing :

in her house so she will have wireless

Wifi really is the only option. Outdoor cabling means you are limited to fibre.

Thanks for that. Will order 2 of the m5 nanostations and see how they work.

Just to clarify, they only need a network cable running from my modem to it which it gets its power from on my end? But on the receiving end I presume it plugs into another modem which somehow sends out signal as wifi?

I have that exact same kit linking two sites 6 miles apart.

You'll get a power over ethernet injector for each Nanostation like this.



You wont need a modem for the far side. Just a switch or access point so clients can connect

Your Side : Modem -> Lan(Injector) -> Poe(Injector) -> Nanostation

Remote side : Hub/Switch/AP -> Lan(Injector) -> Poe(Injector) -> Nanostation

Exactly what I needed to know. Much appreciated. Just ordered 2 off donedeal.
