    While I really liked it and it was doing a great job on most of my lawn, the smaller unit (Mova Lidax Ultra 2000) struggled with a steeper slope in my front yard and some uneven terrain in my backyard.  I returned it and replaced it with the larger unit on the left (Mova Lidax Ultra 3000 AWD).  Very, very happy, the future is now!

    No sale, unfortunately. We wanted a few extra (the slotted and one solid are additions for me) but also bought some for some of my B-I-Ls.

    Apparently buying a "No Soliciting" sign and posting it prominently on your front door, right next to the doorbell, means absolutely nothing to people.   :anguished:

    My #1 tip, don’t answer the door to anyone that you aren’t expecting. Especially the police. Tip #1b, the Nigerian prince does not need your money to unlock his fortune.

    Ubiquiti UniFi U7 Outdoor Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Access Point



     I have no idea if this is what I need but I have to start somewhere. I am trying to get a WiFi signal from my house to the barn lot which is about 500’ away

    Likely not what you need.  If you are looking to have wi-fi coverage around your barn, you will need to run some wiring (optical fiber or ethernet with an active repeater) to the barn and then connect a wi-fi access point.  Another option is a wireless bridge (with directional antennas) to avoid running a cable and an access point.

    I finally broke down and bought a conveggtor for my large . Planning on doing a lot of pulled pork for my parents platinum wedding anniversary Labor Day weekend. I’m going to do a trial run this coming Wednesday or Thursday. Now to find a fresh jar of peach preserves, already bought some Blues Hog bbq sauce.

     I plan to stick it on a gable peak of my roof and point it in that direction. If the signal doesn’t reach I’m going to bury cable and put it closer to the barn lot. I read somewhere cat6 is only good for 330 feet or so. Sound like a plan? Not really my expertise and there’s so much info out there. I heard there is a lot of bandwidth drop with the directional antennas

    330 feet is a best case scenario, you will need an active repeater to reach 500 feet.  Optical fiber is a another option IMHO, but it also comes with its own set of problems and $$$.  A wireless bridge is likely a better option in your case.  Think of it as a virtual cable.  You can get decent bandwidth over fairly long distances if you have direct line of sight in between the 2 nodes.  The bridge is just an interconnection between your main building and the barn.  You will still need an access point to provide wifi coverage around the barn.

    I haven’t looked at the UniFi lineup recently, but back in the days, they had bridges that could connect directly to their APs (only need a bridge on one side and AP on the other).

    I thought about pm you but the forum needs some posts on topic or off. 
     I have the ubiquity outdoor 7 at my house pointed at the barn lot. The signal varies greatly depending on buildings in the barn lot but I have a perfect line of site spot I could mount a receiver on my shop that has a perfect signal. 
     Could I just get another outdoor 7 and mount it on my shop wall, it would receive signal
    from the house, set it for omnidirectional and broadcast WiFi throughout the barn lot? 
     Thanks for the help.

    For example the proposed second receiver location (outside shop wall) is running about 80mbps and I’m posting this sitting in the shop at 2.1mbps

    Looking at the specs, I think that the outdoor 7 does support wi-fi meshing.  If you go that route, keep in mind that some of the airtime will be used for the uplink.  Also, not sure what the weather looks like in your neck of the wood , but rain and snow can have an impact on signal quality at those frequencies.  Personally, I’d go with a point-to-point wireless bridge + another AP at the barn.
