Friends:
We are impressed with the Ubiquiti line of equipment for access points, stations, wifi extenders, and remotely manageable switches. The Unifi system logs up and down time and will notify if there is a failure. We have one RF link that is 5 miles long (it’s not a power system it’s for a community radio station, a volunteer hobby project).

I used to use the Engenius ENH202 all the time and they were great, but last I checked the prices went up. I have recently gotten the TP Link CPE210. They are cheap, but not nearly as powerful. I was able to put the ENH202 in the middle of someone's house and generally aim it in the right direction and there would be great signal 500' away even through some trees. The TP link one needs a much better line of sight.

I am planning a ground mount that is 300 feet from a home with 12/240V service. The branch circuits will have an AC combiner panel on a rack at the array with 2 parallel sets of 4/0 Al conductors back to the interconnection point at the house in a meter/main combo. I was planning to put a breaker in the meter/main combo for the IQ Envoy inside an adjacent enclosure. I'm wondering if I will be successful in picking up the microinverters 300 feet away. I'd rather do this than locate that IQ Envoy near the array and worry about getting Internet out there. I know Cellular is an option, but I hate the 6-hour delay in data acquisition.
