Fixed that today, and I was able to get a successful mesh connection in my office, about 20' behind that main unit in the window. I'd found the 'Site' setting, and the 'Radio' settings for Mesh, but there was one under 'Uplink' that I'd missed. The 'meshing' thing is what caught me out late last night when I was giving these their first tests. I should be able to hit that building across the STREET with this setup! I've had success with the standard AP-AC-LRs and PTP bridges I've used up until now. I'm going to just return these and go with Aruba, if I can't get any suggestions. Heck, even trying to connect with my iPhone would give me 'insufficient signal to join' (with 2 of 3 bars) at that same distance. This was WITH the directional antenna! Now I have the other unit shoved in behind a conduit on the trailer, hoping to get ONE little bar of signal. So, imagine my surprise when I set the 'base unit' up inside of the office window, and could get no more signal strength around the trailer than I could with the MSM422. Step 3: To hedge my bets, I also bought a pair of the Dual-Band Directional Antennae! Because I just can't get away from the overkill. Step 2: I bought a pair of Ubiquiti UAP-AC-M units, because they should easily be able to bridge that distance in a mesh, giving me wired and WiFi inside of the trailer

I got around two bars of signal out and around the trailer, but it wouldn't reach inside, like I thought Step 1: I took one of my existing old APs, an HP MSM422, and set it on my window ledge upstairs.

Rather than do the overkill point to point bridge I usually do, I figured I would try extending my WiFi coverage to the trailer.

I need to make a short WiFi hop between my office and a site trailer set up in our parking lot.
