Anyone every do a point to point wireless bridge with Ubiquiti or something else. I have two real estate offices, little houses separated by a 30' parking lot. Clear line of sight. Main office has 100mb cable internet and 4 computers, 4 hosted voip phones and wifi users. I would want maybe 3 hosted voip phones and some PCs and wifi users on the remote side. There are no trees, maybe snow and rain could be an issue? I would put them on the second floor of the houses, maybe 12ft off the ground.

The alternative is another cable modem at the second building which is fine but long term expensive. But curious to what you experts think. Thank you!

Your plan should work, however no security and no QOS. I would go with 2nd modem.
Internet circuits are not pricey

Jsaad,

I have a very similar setup at an office building with a retail store about 200 ft away with clear line of site. We had a set of Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco M5's for 10+ years that connected the two buildings and worked great. There was a bad lightning storm that knocked out a bunch of equipment a year or so ago and we replaced it with a set of Ubiquiti airMAX NanoStation 5AC Loco's (the newer version of what we had previously). They work great as well and support passing vlans, qos, etc. The office building was running 100mb cable (until a year or two ago and has upgraded to 500mb cable) and has 30 PCs and 30+ ip phones. The retail store has 10 PCs and 10 ip phones.


As long as line of site is there, i wouldn't consider adding a cable modem at the other location.

10 years with no trouble. Sounds to good to be true! I think it's worthwhile but customer is moving slowly. Always good to be knowledgeable. Thank you!
