Hi all, 

My wife started a thread on a forum trying to deduce what product we need to get Starlink internet from our main house to a tiny house 100 yards away. We are thinking of using a wireless bridge, but know very little about this sort of thing.

Here's the thread:

https://community.ui.com/questions/seeking-product-recommendation-total-novice-extending-wifi-to-another-building/c886befc-6b1b-4cb9-8dfd-4db0fb529913

And here are the tech words I don't understand:

For 100 yards you can use several different products. In the 5GHz line, two Loco5AC with appropriate POE adapters are $65 per side. A pair of NS5AC can use 48V POE if you have it already and can pass that through to another device like a WIFI AP. Figure $125 per side. An easier to mount and aim device is the NBE5AC. These are $99 each. All of these 5GHz solutions are good for about 200-300Mbps throughput.

For true gigabit speed, get a pair of Wave Pico but these will set you back $179 each.

I am feeling confused by the above options. I am hoping to install this myself. Also, just FYI power is limited to an extension cord at the tiny house.

Thanks for any insight you can offer.

Can you run an ethernet cable out to the tiny house?
