I've talked about my situation before, so I won't get into details.
But the skinny is this:
2 houses, 300 feet apart.
Current set up is: House A: ISP (50mps)>>modem>>Powerline adapter>>Cisco Router (ISP signal strength cut in half by the time it reaches Cisco)
House B: Mounted in window is a TPLink WA5210G set in Universal Repeater mode. This picks up the Cisco signal and distributes it throughout House B. The end signal strength is 5mps at best.
I'm wanting to get a LEAST 10mps at House B, so I got a 2 Ubiquiti Nanostations M2. Watched videos on how to set them up. They read each other GREAT when I set them up (in the same room). When I put them each in a window of each house pointed at each other, hardly any signal at all.
What puzzles me is how can the Cisco/TPlink connection, which goes through an insulated wall, some trees and a window (no directional antenna) be so strong compared to 2 nanostations designed to do point to point?
When I stand half way between the two houses with my phone, I get GREAT signal from the Cisco and not so great with the nanostation. (the speed is about the same for each though)
Yes, I know windows weaken the signal. I've read story after story that at 300 feet, a simple window is not issue for the signal of the Nano's. Also, I gotta believe they SHOULD have a LOT better signal then the micky-mouse set up with the Cisco/TP link, don't you think?
Does anyone have any advice they could give as to what I can do or maybe I haven't described enough? Or, if you can PM me, maybe we could talk live?
Thanks.
