Looking for advice on long-range Wi-Fi setup (TP-Link CPE710) I’m planning to use a TP-Link CPE710 (5GHz, 23dBi) in client mode to connect to my friend’s Huawei router, which is about 100 meters away. There’s a medium-sized building partially blocking the line of sight. I previously tried the TP-Link CPE210 (2.4GHz, 9dBi), but the connection was unstable—some days I’d get 30 Mbps, other days barely 1 Mbps—probably due to interference on 2.4GHz. Where I live, there’s not much 5GHz Wi-Fi around, so I’m hoping the CPE710 will give me a more stable connection. I’m not looking for crazy speeds—just a consistent 10 Mbps up/down. Anyone with experience using the CPE710 or similar setups—do you think it’ll work better? Any tips for getting the best results?

Trying to build a long range setup, and have a bunch of questions about how to best do it. I thought I had a yagi antenna to use for this project, but discovered a few days ago it is the wrong frequency to use. So, you guess I could say I am back to the drawing board. I need to have good connectivity at around 900 meters, and would prefer 1400 meters if possible. My thoughts were to incorporate two different antennas to match the two different bands Wi-Fi connections use these days. One for 2.4ghz and another for 5ghz, since their waveforms possess different shapes due to the difference in frequency, but then I discovered parabolic antennas can manage both. To my understanding, my options are: Purchase another yagi Purchase a parabolic Build a super cantenna Build a cigar antenna like the one I found on this site. Build the hybrid yagi-cantenna that I also found on this site. I was going to couple this antenna with a repeater/amplifier to give it more power. There are several available on amazon, of course. My soldering skills are not good enough to try to break out the breadboard and schematics to build my own. I just don't know what antenna would allow me the best opportunity to penetrate through the heavy wooded area that would surround it, oh, and that one hill. I am also unsure at what elevation would this antenna need to be mounted. How much would gain be affected by elevation, and at what point would the voltage drop from the cable reduce any benefit received from an increase in elevation? Elevating the antenna would present some technical issue to the build, as there are codes restricting the height of an antenna mast before it would require approval by governing bodies, and the mast itself can get quite expensive fairly quickly. I also don't want anything that would draw attention or suspicion. Like a tesla tower would. Last in this rambling post of a thousand questions, I was given most of a spool of buriable coaxial by a friend. From the looks of it, it appears to be RG6. Would this do? Or is something else needed with less loss? Cheers

Good day I am from Philippines and hopping that you help me to make a design for an easy made outdoor antenna for my modem huwei b315s-936 with a band 3 (1.8ghz) frequency, with a distance of around 20km to the cell tower.
