How a point-to-point wireless link works

One pair of radios, one on the house and one on the shed, carries the house internet out to the shed. Here's what's involved, and when it works.

What it is

Two outdoor radios face each other. One sits at the building that already has internet. The other sits at the building that needs it. Phones, laptops and cameras in that building then connect to Wi-Fi or cable there.

What it needs

The radios need a clear view of each other. Trees in the path, a new shed built in the way, or no power at the far end all change the job. We check that before ordering hardware. TP-Link Omada is one radio range we use, but the path matters more than the brand.

What it is not

It is not a promise that one router covers the whole farm. It is not a substitute for a camera recorder. And it is not always better than a short trench when the buildings are close and the ground is easy.

Mark the house, the shed and the gate.

Map your home, shed, stable, office or gate before we quote your network. Drop a pin on each building. We check line of sight and distance on site before we quote, so we can tell whether house Wi-Fi will reach or a building needs its own link.
