Just ran conduit to my big garage. Ran 8 gauge 240v power, fiber, and an emergency cat 6 cable. Need to run fiber from there to my workshop next. I've been relying on a building to building bridge up till now.
I have an attached garage but have been avoiding drilling more holes in the walls. I opted to go with a pair of media converters to go from 1G to an sfp optic fiber which I ran out my amateur radio patch and in through the service door on the garage and into another media converter. the fiber just runs along the edge of the house next to coax runs and is armored.
Sounds awesome! I am the same way, if I don't need to drill holes in the core infrastructure of my house or garage (basement wall, yard, outer walls) I avoid it.
Personally, I'd still run fiber to the garage. Nothing wrong with the setup you have. You know the pros of fiber. However, you like the wireless aspect and it works for you so keep what works for you. Love your network rack.
The signal from those unifi APs is more like a donut than a beam. You'd be better off mounting the AP flat instead of turning it around. Best signal for all the ones I've installed have been horizontal mounted on a ceiling. All that said, the new setup should be far better no matter how you mount the APs in mesh.
I'm looking for a way of bridging my garage lab (with LTE connectivity at the moment) with my home. The thing is that however the distance is not far (like 40m), the building are angled to eachoter, making straight-line-connection tricky, especially with limited external wall mounting possibilities, as the garage is common space. I am able to mount one side of the bridge behind narrow garage's window, but I'm afraid it is going to cripple the link speed and reliability pretty heavy. What would you suggest?
I get it and if there is nothing important you don't care if it get stolen sure but sadly you should never run security stuff off of wireless, too easy to jam.
Ha! I know, it was a long winding road to get to this point but to sum it up, if I am going to put something outside, it's not going to be point to point becase I lose coverage in my yard. Point to mesh is where it's at! 😅
@TechnoTimTalks have you tried? I have just that setup to my garage.ä from the house. Works fine, and wont give any interference to WiFi at all. I have 1 AP in the garage, that also feed WiFi to the yard.

Jim's garage welcomes Tim's garage 🎉
Your garage looks a million times better!
I was going to say Jim done it first.

After visiting Minneapolis for work, I instantly heard your voice get all Minnesotan when you were telling the story about your neighbor hahaha
Garage is the logical progression 😂
You garage is incredible. This was just a "small" network upgrade 😅
for a second there i thought i was watching Craft Computing with you cracking a beer open.

RJ45 EZ is really convenient, but I've had the worst luck with them failing in patch panels that get worked in on a regular basis.
We need more HA content!

I just did exactly that for my own garage, here it is th-cam.com/video/e3R-kFfR9tM/w-d-xo.html

What are some of those vids that didnt land on release day? Surface them again - lets see what happens with channel engagement
Bla bla bla. I can't put a Unifi radio link outside. But a U7 pro i s just fine to have outside! 😂

@@vardagsteknik6576 I tested with the UDB Pro if that's what you mean. What do you mean by a radio link?
UISP nanobeam. Unifi has them now in gigabit speeds over air.
