Best Option for Wireless P2P Through a Building?

[kenn213]

I'm trying to set up a wireless point-to-point link that goes through a couple walls and I want to know what the best solution for this is.

I live in an apartment building and rent a garage on the other side of the building. I have two IP cameras in my apartment and I want to store the video on a server in the garage. Obviously if I owned the building I would just run Cat6, however this is not an option. The closest point in my apartment is probably 30-50 feet from the closest point in my garage (hard to tell exactly). Currently I run a Netgear Nighthawk x6 as my home WiFi router and I can get 1 bar of signal standing outside of the garage (far side from apartment) on my smartphone so I know I can get a signal there.

I'd like to run a separate P2P link as opposed to using my regular WiFi. I have 2x Ubiquity Nanostation 2.5GHz and 2x Nanostation 5GHz, however from my experience these work best with line of sight. I also have a Ubiquity Picostation sitting on a shelf. I need at least 20mpbs throughput, but would hope for 100+.

Any recommendations as to specific products or general technologies would be much appreciated.

If you want a very high speed wireless bridge to the garage, buy another R8000 (or even an R7000) and use it in the garage in bridge mode. You will get well in excess of 100Mbps as you can see HERE.

I've done all my media bridge installs with ASUS units, but any of the newer AC units in pairs are very fast for bridges.

All of your Ubiquiti gear requires line of sight for optimal performance.

I actually hadn't considered just getting another Nighthawk. This would work, however I was hoping to encrypt the P2P bridge with IPSec as it will be carrying my IP Camera footage wirelessly. I'm actually running a Mikrotik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN as my primary router (wifi disabled) and the Nighthawk is just my AP on my private subnet at the moment.

I don't believe the Nighthawk supports IPSec but I could be wrong? Maybe it wouldn't need to if it is just the AP? Maybe I could use one radio from the Nighthawk to create a separate network from my regular network? Haha more questions than answers on this one.

Yes, I think that you could bridge from one in an AP mode to a bridge mode. I know that you can on ASUS RT-AC68U and see no reason that you couldn't on Nighthawks.

Not sure on the whether IPSec support would be necessary over the bridge though as I have not tried that.

I would also assume that you can use the 2.4GHz wireless locally on the media bridge unit, as I generally do that with the ASUS units. It might be worth asking Netgear support to be sure though.
