Long story short is that the cable companies want $8k to run a line to my house. My brother has a connection next door (he paid $20k a couple years ago but needs it for his business). Anyway, I've been playing with a long range setup with directional high gain antennas from his place to mine with fairly good success but I lose connection to the amplifier on my end randomly. Let me try to explain:
On the source end I have a directional antenna attached to his router pointed at my house.
At my house I have a directional antenna pointed at his antenna. From the antenna on my end the signal goes to an amplifier then into a netgear AC2300 router.
Im seeing a solid 58-59dbi signal and speeds of 40Mps on my end (wireless 2.4ghz) from my router and even higher at 5ghz. The signal to noise spread is at out 25-30db as I get 58db on the signal and 92-95db of noise.
Anyway, everything is great most of the time but every now and then I lose the amplifier (can't even connect to it from the IP) but if I unplug it and plug it back in the thing works again every time. The router is always available through it's IP but in these instances will say no internet connection. This happens anywhere from 0-25 times a day (maybe 10 average).
Any ideas or leads are appreciated and here is the setup I have if it helps
