Okay folks - I've been doing a ton of research on this - and I think one of my key bottlenecks is that my UL speed is ~10Mbps. That's a bit of an issue when you're trying to support 2Mbps x 11 cameras @ 2~3 Mbps each.
Now I know what you're thinking - Are you going to have all 11 live...
If there was a local option for me to call way out in the middle of nowhere, I'd call them. But there isn't.
Therefore, I don't have a choice but to figure it out. Hopefully with some help, I'll be successful.
@Tech9 - You keep bringing 5GHz in. Why? I don't want anything to do with it.
I'm just trying address that if you're saying the CPE210 is EOL, what should I replace it with - knowing that 2.4GHz is the law of the land? I was asking about AX given the performance benefits of AX to the 2.4G...
@Tech9 - I've said repeatedly that I want 2.4GHz bridges. I've never suggested 5GHz for PtP. I'm asking for tips to see if there's a 802.11ax equivalent of the CPE210 (because you noted that it's EOL).
@Tech9 - I just need to focus on 2.4GHz on the bridges. I don't believe the 5GHz will work. I am happy to run Dual Band on the APs though.
Any advice on 2.4GHz WiFi6 Bridging that could replicate or improve upon the range of the CPE210?
Based on the responses thus far, the 5GHz solution wouldn't likely work given that it's higher frequency translates to a shorter wavelength. With that said, the CPE210 is 802.11n, and I believe there were improvements to 2.4GHz spectrum with 802.11ax / WiFi 6. I don't believe any such...
A few points of feedback to all of the previous posts:
My dislike for Starlink is irrelevant. AT&T Air will work just fine. I already have a massive solar & battery array in the area where this initial unit will be powered. In theory, it could run for approximately 146 days before it would...
I am pretty sure all of the equipment I'll be using is PoE based.
I'll never use Starlink. I ask people to kindly quit referencing it.
@NXIL- I didn't pull the aerial or topo because what I explained which links are LOS.
@Tech9 - How do I connect the CPE210 to the EAP110? It looks like the CPE210 only has one Ethernet (PoE) input, so I don't see a clear way to connect it to the EAP110. Do they wirelessly mesh?
Using my map above, the experiment I'd run would be the Base to point 'D' (255 yards). If the EAP110...
This is what I am looking for. I can easily resolve the power problem and utilize a PoE injector. It's a bit of an expense, but a very, very easy one to resolve. I'll emphasize, please don't worry about the solar side of things - I got that down pat.
I also recognize that this will not be...
I'm far less worried about the Eufy cameras. They have a satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty. Besides, when I do this experiment, I'll just be buying (1) camera and if it does suck, I'll get my money back and only be out the cost of the AP (which I'd eventually use anyways)...
I guess I wasn't as clear as I hoped 😆. I was not suggesting to use the omnidirectional antenna to cover the whole property or span 200+ yards.
I was suggesting that I could beacon from my "Base Station" AP to another - where the receiving device would be relatively close to where service is...
Wouldn't it be possible for me to make a mesh which connects to the main AP via LOS and then use an omnidirectional antenna to reach the NLOS areas?
Regarding the solar technology, I am very comfortable with it. I am far more worried about the WiFi. I have solar powered equipment everywhere and...
