Hi everyone,
I'll be soon moving into a new appartment. It has a basement, which is 5 floors lower.
I need to find a solution to bring a LAN connection down there, mainly for my 3D printing server.
What would be my best bet ?
I've got a 21dBi 2.4GHz grid antenna laying around, will it be enough for Wifi ?
And what about a point-to-point wireless bridge like the Ubiquiti PowerBeam ? It seems super expensive, and I'm not sure about penetration...
I don't need a lot of bandwidth, I will only transfer some Gcodes and probably have some IoT stuff down there.
My dream would be to have something like a transparent Ethernet-over-LoRa connection, but that doesn't seem to exist.
Finally should I rather go with lower or higher frequencies ? The building is recent, made out of steel-reinforced concrete.
Thanks for helping out,
Regards,
Frédéric
