Now I live in a rural community, we have poor landline connection - too far from exchange and or too far from cabinet - so connection speeds are very slow - 2-3mbps
Now there is airband available giving 40mbps but not available if not in line of site of the transmitter
We have one holiday cottage that can receive airband but not the main house about 300 yards away
So..
My thoughts are to use a LAN bridge to connect the two different buildings on the farm
Has anyone got recommendations as to the best hardware to use, anything I should look out for that might cause problems?
Thanks in advance for the replies/

Thank you. Yes line of sight. I am thinking about LAN bridge.
My basic understanding is using a LAN bridge each end and a router each end for wifi in each property
BUT would welcome knowing how successful this is in practice and what I might need to consider.
Thanks for the help.
 
no its more me sticking the office in one building and sharing the connection with the house so a private network isnt necessary :)
appreciate the thoughts
I have to confess I did this years back with old intro red and b/c connections BUT things have moved on a lot in the last 25 - 30 years so just getting myself back up to sepeed as it were
Seeing things like the TPlinks you mention here or I was looking at Amazon and there were UeeVii at about the £90 mark which seems to be too easy
It then raised the question of running two routers - (I have a spare router here already) or to use a wifi extender - I guess the extender means the phones iPads etc have just the one network network to contend with and sharing any cameras in the animal sheds becomes simple
 
thank you again I have found a company thats uk based and does next day and preconfigured for £26 and sells the mounting brackets for an extra £15
just researching the U6 Lite and seems you have a perfect solution so going to order that and see if I can fit it before the weekend
 
planning to do it next week (have the daughters dog all this week so have been a bit hampered with doing the work)

I may need to change the router as I could do with guest networking and the cn Pilot R195P that I have I need to check if it supports guest networking
Also I have a underground cat 5 cable connecting one of the sheds (chicken shed) to the farm house with vac controls there and cameras so thinking of running the lan bridge into a small ethernet switch
thanks for checking in though - its funny how these things "grow"
