    HELP! Farmer trying to set-up long-range property WiFi

    Well, not really (and not trying to be argumentative, just saying that having outdoor security cameras, wireless, solar powered) in this day and age is not umcommon. Amazon has a " "Pan Tilt 360°WiFi Camera with Color Night Vision/PIR Sensor/2-Way Audio/Alexa/Google Assistant"-- for forty...

    HELP! Farmer trying to set-up long-range property WiFi

    May I ask why you will not consider the Up-there link system? Solar powered, not susceptible to ground based catastrophes, etc.

    Tech9, you haven't heard? You're signed up and you'll be collected for processing a day or two before launch. Bring some potato seeds.

    Agree--possibly a professional who does this on the regular?

    HELP! Farmer trying to set-up long-range property WiFi

    It depends on which equipment you buy: Mikrotik, Ubiquiti, TP-Link, etc. It depends on how flat/how many trees/other obstructions are involved. YMMV

    Also consider direct burial Cat6A and POE. Except for Starlink: https://www.starlink.com/us HIGH-SPEED INTERNET AROUND THE WORLD Connect in minutes. No contracts. $299 $499 for the Starlink Kit. There's also Hughes satellite and Viasat, but they are not good (very high latency), so not...

    Or it's the ethernet cable you're using? Damaged/stepped on/corroded, or, not to spec? https://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/is-your-cat6-a-dog.htm Of course even Cat5e should be enough for a home connection. But, consider getting a Blue Jeans Cable, or at least a Monoprice ethernet...

    AX86U Pro vs AX88U vs AXE7800

    It seems that for many corporations, the "long term" does not matter, just this quarter or next, for bonuses/payouts/stock option, etc.

    AX86U Pro vs AX88U vs AXE7800

    Thanks Glens, Smedley, and Tech9--always good to come here and learn things. Ooof. Noted. And with some looking around this weekend, found this for OP Smedley: https://www.mbreviews.com/asus-rt-ax86u-pro-wifi-6-router-review/ Dated March 12 2024 Doesn't seem to be AI written, only...

    AX86U Pro vs AX88U vs AXE7800

    They don't have the same antennas, antenna layout, and, if you had followed the link I offered above, you'd see the 88u Pro's 5ghz performance with a 2x2 client is about 20% better than the 86 pro. At 5ghz 3 x 3, the 88U Pro pummels the 86U pro. (Take a look at the chart.) At 2.4 2 x2, the...

    AX86U Pro vs AX88U vs AXE7800

    Hey OP, maybe this review will help: https://dongknows.com/asus-rt-ax88u-pro-review/ Currently $240 at amazon, was $350 when this review was written a year ago. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTTY7QFH/?tag=snbforums-20 I think that's a great deal. The RT-AX88U is supported by Merlin...

    ASUS RT-AXE7800 Merlin Firmware availability ????

    Some of that is directly thanks to Merlin--Asus takes good features/code from Merlin and adds it in to stock AsusWRT. Symbiotic, and Merlin is generous in terms of open source/copyrights, etc. Again, that's a great router you have and will provide great service!

    ASUS RT-AXE7800 Merlin Firmware availability ????

    Marcd5123, I start with the Merlin Supported List, and go from there to narrow router purchases down. One router I support and use is an RT- AX3000 that, on paper, isn't that great. Runs a single family home with a work from home exec, two kids, TVs (I prefer to hard wire TVs but not able to...
