Hey guys. I did a search but came up empty.

I am trying to share my folks wifi to the guest house approx 150-200 yards away. I found outdoor wifi extenders that say they'll work that far but I'm not sure if that's what I need. Attic access is available in both houses and there is open pasture between the buildings.

We use the guest house on weekends when we go down. I just need to be able to use a Roku and handle normal phone/laptop browsing and it doesn't make sense to pay for internet in both locations. We can use phone hot spots when we're there, but honestly the iPhone hot spot is kind of a PITA. I don't want to have to restart the hot spot every time the TV gets turned off and that's what I've experienced.

Also, I'd like something that isn't finnicky, obviously. I'd like to keep the cost under $500 if possible.

Thanks for the help!

Something like this?

TP-Link CPE710 5GHz AC 867Mbps Long Range Gigabit Outdoor CPE for PtP and PtMP Transmission | Point to Point Wireless Bridge | 23dBi | Passive PoE Powered w/Free PoE Injector | Pharos Control https://a.co/d/gx19kQo

Buy 2 and point them at one another

This is the correct answer

Obviously not going to achieve the same speed (1 Gbps throughput vs. 450mbps), but I use the NanoStation Loco which are quite a bit cheaper. They work great.

The GigaBeam does come with a PoE injector, whereas the NanoStation does not. Those will be an extra $15-20 to buy separately.

I use the Airmax for the same setup. Works great!

Thanks guys. That's what I was seeing and thinking.

It looks like the TP Link can operate as an access point on the far end but the Ubiquity would need...what? a wireless router?

The mechanics of the install I'm confident with. Setting up access points and routers...not so much. I can set up a router out of the box but I've never dealt with anything more complicated than wifi mesh routers.

You need a router to provide internet to the main unit to broadcast to the second unit.

Right, no problem there. The need for an access point at or after the 2nd unit is my question

It would need a POE switch (or regular switch with an injector) and another wireless access point. (Like the U6 Lite, which is also POE).

Yes, you need something on the other end. I'm using a cheapo Netgear router in access point mode in my setup.
