Connecting 2 bldgs 300 ft apart that are NOT intervisible

crossing_patoka · Oct 31, 2013

Our remote (cable and optic fiber are not available) home/office location has satellite dish internet service. Two bldgs are about 300 ft apart, but blocked by terrain. The satellite modem is wired to a router (Cisco Linksys WRT310n) in the building with the satellite dish. The need is to push the internet connection to the other building without degrading speed of service. Current speed is about 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload. What is the best inexpensive device for sharing the internet connection with the other building?

My first choice would to bury underground CAT5e cable like THIS SORT if you don't have too many concrete roads and the like to dig under.

Otherwise I would use a pair of outdoor directional access points that will work in a bridge mode -- something inexpensive like a pair of THESE should do at that distance if you can get line of sight from a pole mount or on the roof.
