Noob looking into "Point to Point" Wireless Internet set up. (Am I understanding this right?)

DennyPhantom · March 23

Long story short.
Need to beam internet from 1 house to another that's ~150Meters away.
With about 3 Trees and some branches in between.

And, from what I understand.
Using stuff like "airMAX LiteBeam 5AC", you get 2 of them.
Put them at the said 2 locations.
Use the Included "24V DC, 0.3A GbE PoE adapter" to grant ur non PoE Ethernet cable the ability to power said Transmitter/Receiver.
They need to have as much line of sight of each other as possible.
Then with some Software App configuring/pairing. (setting up one as the Transmitter, and the 2nd one as the Receiver.)
You are done? Is it really that easy?
Or am I missing something.

(PS: Yes with how short that Distance is, it be cheaper to use a wire.. i know that. But I'm not allowed to. So looking into this PtP stuff to get my main internet back as the old wire died after 10 years.. and I cant replace it...)

Its not recommended but there's a reasonable chance it will work as long as the branches are not fully blocking line of sight. It just might not be 100% stable in high winds or rain/snow.

I have a P2P WiFi using a couple of LiteBeam 5AC 23 over a short range with a tree trunk in the way, some branches and the other side mounted indoors behind a thick wall (I seem to pick it up via reflections through the windows). Its a fairly stable 80-100Mbit.

Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to try it.
