Hi Guys,
I'm looking into putting up a permanent point to point wireless network using parabolic grid antenna's. Its traveling approx. 1 mile (1.2 for padding).
I'm open to opinions, but this is where I am currently at:
My main scope is range, stability and throughput. Functionality will come later.
I'm thinking of going 5ghz, for three reasons, first the legal power is higher than 2.4ghz (but I want to keep things safe). Second that wavelength should be cleaner. Lastly 802.11ac.
I was originally looking to use alfa devices, but have now moved onto something like the Asus RT-AC66U.
I haven't discounted anything, so suggest away...
My first direct question is what power output can I expect to get from the RT-AC66U? I'm struggling to find a reliable answer.
