Hi,
After much experimentation, I finally managed to set up a wireless link between my house and my friend's apartment.
Equipment on my side:
Ubiquiti Bullet 2 CPE device connected to a 24dbi 2.4ghz grid antenna mounted on my roof
In between:
225 meters total distance between the 2 antennas. Around 2 or 3 thick trees. They are too high to get line of site.
Friend's flat:
Arc FreeStation 2.4Ghz 15dbi Panel CPE device
I have managed to establish a link at around -65 dBm and have CCQ at 70-100%.
The problem is that the speeds I am getting are terrible. Max speed goes to 3Mbps. This speed is crazy slow for file transfers.
What factors could I look for that could be causing the bad rate? I know my antenna has been sitting around for a while - could it be a fault with the antenna? Could it be something to do with the Ubiquiti device?
Please advise the best way forward to improve this connection speed.
