5GHz is closer to light and propagates differently. It is goo for distance with a directional antenna and an unobstructed path. The fewer the obstruction, the better at 5GHz.
The differences in signal propagation between 2.4 and 5 is one of the reasons for the new Wi-Fi standards that use both.

From my house my 2.4 GHz signal carries halfway down the block and the 5 gig signal barely clears the front door.

You won't find a lot of 5.8Ghz WiFi spots and the 2.4 is more forgiving for line of site. A 8 or 9 dBi antenna would be good for most applications, once you get into 10dBi they can get pretty big and heavy. The Ubiquiti gear is really top notch for the price, it's leaps and bounds better then anything else out there.

If so; - which model (ubiquity or otherwise), - - where did you install the antenna (Mast, Arch, etc) - 2.4GHz or 5GHz - What DBi (and actual range / strength are you getting). We’ll be spending most of the summer on the boat (with kids) 😉. Any other information is appreciated.
