![]() ![]() If you know linux networking then its going to be straightforward as its just an API shell on top of linux and switch hardware. RouterOS is a bit of a learning curve.Don’t know if the ubiquity gears does this too? Has 802.11ac fallback for when there is bad weather.Mikrotik does a lot of wireless ISP business so I have to believe the 60ghz stuff is pretty solid.Don’t need separate unifi controllers, cloud accounts, or anything else.You can get a pair of 60ghz outdoor devices for $300. They really go out of their way to do this. Support their old stuff for as long as feasible.Soil cant be that thin can it?įor 60ghz you could check out the mikrotik 60ghz offerings. If it were me I think I’d just bury some conduit and run fiber. ![]() ![]() If you already have a whole Unifi system it is nice to be able to manage a wireless bridge with everything else, but unless you have the Unifi system already or are willing to pay so much extra for an extra 500mb-1gb of speed the SFP+ gets you then you are better off going with AirMax. The Building Bridge XG also has a 10gb SFP+ port so you can get higher than gigabit speeds, unlike the AirMax model I linked that is a lot cheaper. Unifi Building Bridge is standard Poe+ powered, so can run on any switch with PoE, and also is managed and imports to the UniFi system. This requirement isnt that bad though, the right injectors are easy to come by and a few other companies besides Ubiquiti make 24v passive injector types that are compatible. It either requires a special network switch (from Ubiquiti) with the right power output or a semi-proprietary 24v passive poe injector. You just log in to each unit manually and configure them. If it’s the range I’m a bit confused why the airMAX line with potentially longer range is less expensive…?ĪirMax line is 24v passive system and cannot be managed in the UniFi controller. …maybe it’s my limited experience as a lay person but what exactly are the technological differences between the product lines “airMAX” (or “airFiber”) and “Building Bridge”? ![]() is it realistic to get a proper 60 GHz link or will it mostly use the 5 GHz fallback option? As mentioned direct line of sight, no trees or other obstacles in that path.Īre there other/better options? My mum would accept that model since its only a little disc shape with a diameter of around 200 mm, not a large dish - that would be a no go. I just browsed a bit and found the Ubiquiti UniFi Building-to-Building Bridge XG, I like it since it has SFP+ (less danger for devices in the house in case of lightning storms)ĭoes anyone here have personal experiences with that specific or similar devices?Īt a distance of 75m/250 ft. The shack has a direct line of sight with the main house, measured today exactly 75 m (around 250 ft.) distance between them with a Bosch laser measuring device (± 1.5 mm). While I get that a fiber run would make the safest and most reliable option, the terrain sucks to dig in (thin layer of dirt with patchy grass and underneath rocks). He’d like to have a connection to the shack that’s at least 1 GbE actually usable. They live in a rural area and my dad got a hobby shack that so far only has power, nothing else hooked up. They are late bloomers, only got into tech after their retirement but are now going full-throttle. I’m helping my elderly parents modernize their home a bit. ![]()
