Yes I read that, but I'm doubting the 5ghz because of the trees now. Seeing as I had issues before with 5ghz, and its winter and no leaves on the trees. In summer, its back to zilch.
My link calc looks ok, but that doesn't show trees. There is a hill less than 1/4mile from the AP side, that is 23 feet higher than ground elevation at the AP. So 23ft + a 45ft mature tree = Im blocked.
The red line I have on the picture is where I believe I have to aim, based on a path I drew from each tower in Google Earth. Looking at it now, I am aiming right into trees. Maybe this AP tower will just not work, but seeing as I work here, and have fiber at this location, it would have been the perfect spot, besides, the LOS issue.
If you enlarge that picture, you can pretty much see the line of trees about 1/4 mile out is the only thing blocking me. You can see between the trees, the ridge line in the way distance.
I was hoping to get at least 900mhz to work, with channel shifting and even 5mhz, get me at least 5mb, and decent steady latency.
I have 1mb currently with horrible latency.
Thanks for the help, I'm not trying to learn the hard way, spending $1k on gear that will sit on the shelf doesn't help me much either.
