Asked By CraftyMarmot77 On

I'm looking to set up a wireless bridge to get internet access in my detached garage, which is about 200 feet away from my house. I'd love any recommendations for reliable brands or models that you've tried and found to be good. Thanks for your help!

If you don’t want to commit to Ubiquiti's ecosystem, consider options like the MikroTik RBWAPG-60ADKIT or the MikroTik Wire nRAY. They’re usually priced well and work out of the box, but MikroTik’s interface can get a bit complicated if you plan on customizing things too much.

Considering your distance, you might not need fancy equipment like 60GHz gear. A couple of 5GHz access points with external antennas should do just fine if you aren’t chasing super high speeds. Also, if it was feasible, I’d suggest running outdoor-rated fiber cables through a buried conduit for reliability in the long run, but wireless seems to be your only option here.

Yeah, I wish I could do that, but the garage is across an alley, so wireless is really my best bet. Thanks for the advice!

You should definitely check out Ubiquiti's Nano or PowerBeam. They're not too complicated to set up and can work as a bridge without needing to dive into their entire system. I've had great success with these!

I've used one of those to connect my rural house to a base station over a kilometer away, and it's super reliable unless there's heavy rain.
