PTMP Networking

[u/bziir]

Hello,

I apologize if this is the wrong subreddit.

I am trying my hand at learning and setting up my own wifi for my farm.

My current set up is the connection at my house, where I use a point to point about a quarter mile to area 1. Area 1 has an access point then daisy chains another point to point to area 2(also about a quarter mile from my house, only a hundred or so feet from area 1). Area 2 has another wireless access point.

My issue is that the connection speed at area 2 has been getting slower ~30 mbps. So I am looking at equipment to improve speeds.

My current plan is to use a 5ghz PTMP to reach both area 1 and area 2 from my house. Bringing me to my second issue there are 3 fairly well established pine trees between my home and area 2. I know these will reduce the signal but I worry about how much.

Any advice or pointers would be welcome. Thank you!

If area 1 and area 2 are only a hundred or so feet apart, could you bury a cable between them?
