ePMP in PTP mode. You can get the itty bitty Force180 for $85 each
and in PTP mode at that range you'll have somewhere near 200mbps
aggregate.
I'm sure there are half a dozen Ubiquiti things which will also
suffice. The example ePMP below is at a range of .559 mile.

Too much power. I don’t want to exceed 20 watts total. So one end
of a radio needs to be in the 5-7 watt range.

Then do a 24 GHz system. That can go 2-1/2 miles with 5 nines. Low
interference. Will eat around 50 watts at each end though.

Seems a bit too long range for that freq.
Worried about not enough time has elapsed to prove them out.
They sound expensive.
Everybody knows 60 GHz is all absorbed by the oxygen anyhow...
Not sure God would approve...
You all the same normal reasons...

For so little throughput a 5GHz setup would be the cheapest and
probably best setup.
What keeps you from being a believer of the 60GHz? I can show you
the history of some of my Ignitenet links that may just change your
mind.
Thank you,

Not a believer yet. And we only need 100-250 Mbps max to the
homes. Actually probably more like 50 or 100 Mbps.
Want it to be simple too. ONT has multiple ethernet ports on it.
Just extend those physical layer 0/1 connections.

What about a couple of 60GHz links with a single 5GHz AP as a
backup? We did this for a bank that needed to connect two buildings
temporarily. Put a MT on either side that ran IPSEC tunnel over the
link with a failover script to route traffic over the 5 GHz link if
the 60 lost more than 50% of it's packets. The 5 GHz was slower,
but they still had connectivity in the even of a heavy rain.

Still puzzling over how to get ethernet the last 3000 feet. I
have fiber to a point along a rural road. The end is about 2000

Was looking at using the existing copper with VDSL line
extenders. That was what that week of math problems was all
about. I am starting to lean away from that solution because
it is old copper. I really want to stop using it.
I don’t have a ROW that is legal. The old copper technically
is in trespass and the owner of the property is known to be a
major PITA. So not sure if I can get permission. Even then, we
are talking about 5000 feet of fiber to place. There will be
some money involved.
Using wireless could be much cheaper. Will have to do a solar
install with the ONT and RF gear on a stub pole at the handhole.
Not sure what kid of RF. Don’t want to use an AP because I
need two layer 2 connections from the ONT. Be more expensive
to use an AP anyhow. So two PTP systems. Rock solid, never
fail type of system. Noise floor down there is probably
pretty low.
I could use a pair of rockets etc. Not wanting to lo-ball
this, want it to be very solid.
What would you use?
