Reddit reviews Ubiquiti NanoBeam ac Gen2 High-Performance airMAX ac Bridge (NBE-5AC-Gen2-US)

Don't go with the NanoStaions, we have deployed a few for work and their beam width is not narrow enough. I would go with Ubquiti's NanoBeam AC Gen2. Same cost and MUCH better prefrormance!

Got the wrong link and didn't realize it,
This should work

Ubiquiti ubifi aclr access point has a 600 ft radius. It should reach. I've used the amplifi hd mesh system to cover multiple houses and shops. One over 100 feet I know. It was across the road. I have used the bullets and nanostations before as well. I like the nanobeams for wireless bridges as they are ac and bulletproof. Use them a lot on camera systems, and have made some pretty impressive connections with then through trees and buildings. Have less trouble out of them than I do a wire.
I am installing one of the UAP-AC-M-US outdoor mesh antennas tomorrow. It looks solid and I have yet to see a ubiquiti product that is not. Their routers, switches, and wireless are all good products. I recommend them often for small and larger networks alike. About all of their products will get out there. I dont know of any that wont.
I would make sure I got ac though if you want anything close to gigabit. A gigabit port means very little on a 15o mbps wireless connection. I have 1 aclr and an edgerouter x in my setup. Access point is inside a pantry cabinet as well. I have full signal all over my yard, all my neighbors yards back and both sides, and inside my shop. I have to drive down the road to lose wifi. There is nothing close to ubiquiti in wireless. I have worked with it for years and it is by far the most resilient, but you got to have a little know how to get the most from them. They are not meant for standard every day users. The outdoor antennas are more straight forward as they dont require the controller.
Your options are abundant. There is no best in this situation, it is just whatever is easiest to install and which one you want to work with.
Here are some links to help you find some:
I would look at this one first:

Here are the nanobeams I use:

You need a pair of NanoBeam units.

The basic idea is in your house you run a Cat6 cable to outside the house and put one nanobeam. Then on the garage you put the other nanobeam with its own Cat6 cable. That gives you hardwired Internet in the garage, and you can put another access point there.

I have installed two pairs of them in the last two months.

FWIW, I don't have much networking experience, and I had very little trouble getting these up and running. There is an app I installed on my phone, the app allows you to do most things remotely, from configuring them to updating firmware. it is really slick.

The antenna ($90 a piece), 1000ft of TOUGHCable ($150), Ubiquiti Universal Antenna Mount ($30 a piece), plus the cost of running cable from the antenna to a closet. Use the TOUGHcable for going through the external wall and connecting to the antenna, put a keystone jack just inside, and use regular cat5/6 on the internal runs.

I second the use of Ubiquiti wireless bridges. You'll get plenty of bandwidth, very low cost ($300 per pair, or even less for the Nanobeam ACs, only $200/pair), very simple to configure. They even have these 900MHz pair for not-exactly-line-of-sight connections. We've blown through a line of trees with these for a short throw with no issues, and get 60Mbps throughput, full duplex.

Unless you're streaming multiple 4K video streams, it's a solid solution. Those small Nanobeams work great, as well. We've used a pair to connect a portable, when it was too expensive to trench over to it, and have used them for connections over 3 miles, with about 120Mbps full duplex. This is in the Sierra Nevada, so pretty harsh weather every winter - lots of snow and ice, and haven't had weather-related failures. In any case, they're so cheap it's trivial to have a shelf spare in case a radio dies.

Whatever you choose, good luck!

Right, That's point to point.. & would be my best option if I wanted to get it on the boat in middle of the lake when we anchor up.. It's a clear shot and the better part of the lake is 15~20KM open shot.. so it will work. I ordered this .. https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-NanoBeam-High-Performance-airMAX-NBE-5AC-Gen2-US/dp/B0713XMHH9

What I wanted was just a long range AP.. Sure, as /u/RustyU said.. Doesn't matter, devices are limited by FCC @ 500 feetish.. so doesn't matter what I put out..

If I planned on driving cams, I'd probably go with the bridge between the two buildings.

Two Nanobeams and two AP-AC-PROs would fit the bill and can be had for ~$450 on amazon.

Alternatively, what's between the two buildings? Could you run basic PVC conduit and drop Cat6e between the two?

I don’t normally have access to his network, so don’t have a dashboard screenshot but details I remembered are in the other thread on this post. At -4, he had -69 dBm and at ~7 he had -50 dBm. This seemed inline with what https://link.ui.com/ estimated.

I’ll check out the mikrotik, thanks!

Nanobeam AC Gen2 is also out. About the same price for the latest generation

https://smile.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-NanoBeam-High-Performance-airMAX-NBE-5AC-Gen2-US/dp/B0713XMHH9/

Ubiquiti nanobeam ac gen2. Around $100/per, and you only need 2 + any basic router - if we wanna stay with cheap, a TP-Link WR940N is fantastic for a single-band router @ $30, and TP-Link has similarly great cost-v-performance products all across the price range.

Set them up as a wireless bridge - obstructions CAN bring problems so maybe put em on pole a little bit to the side of the buildings to get past the one in between?

Then run a router off the far end.

Total cost ~$250

So you're trying to get an Engenius AP and an Ubiquiti AP to communicate across 350' feet without anything else as your wireless link? That was doomed to fail from the start. If you want to see the wireless link actually work quite well for cheaper than the Airfiber or the fiber, maybe take a look at these:

You dont want to use the Unifi AC Pro for the long haul link. Thats for serving WiFi in a smaller area. Use dedicated radios for the long haul link.

If you have line of site you can set up some 5ghz devices that use AC for faster connection. the nanobeam line would be perfect for this if they have direct line of site. I'm not sure of the exact speeds but I think they can get like 300mbps pretty easy at this distance. here is a link to the product I am talking about, they are $100 each sold by UBNT and $90 on amazon. An here is a link to crosstalk solutions youtube page where they discuss how to set up PtP connections using this hardware.

I’d coax won’t work in the end: Return MoCA.

But two of these:


EnGenius Technologies EnStation5-AC 5 GHz Outdoor 11ac Wave 2 Pt. Wireless Bridge https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073H5KSSJ/

Or a pair of these
