Hi,

Looking at running a Point to Point Link between two properties.

One is running Deco X55 as router with 2 additional units, the other is running Ubiquity WiFi.

What would be the beast setup with keeping the X55 as router and the Ubiquity in the other property?

What is the distance, and is it easy line of sight or are there trees in the way etc?

Mikrotik wireless wire bridge 60ghz
Gigabit speeds.

If you use the preconfigured kit, you just plug them in and get up to gigabit speed.
RBwAPG-60adkit up for to 120 metres
RBLHGG-60adkitr2 for 120 to 500 metres

So with those I can just plug into a spare ethernet port on the router and just into the switch at the other end?

that is correct.
You will of course need some outdoor cable to mount them at an appropriate location where they can see each other.

That should be fine, They can go on the wall up high under the eaves of both buildings.

Are they IP rated, should I worry being under the eaves?
