I live on a conservation area with 4 buildings located in the middle of a 260 acre property. The main house has HughesNet Gen5 service but there was no internet in the cottage and stables. I wanted to install IP security cameras and smart thermostats in other buildings, also it would be nice to have internet access from the outbuildings. I've been using Ubiquiti for home WiFi for many years and I'm happy with the performance and quality, so I ordered the NBE-5AC-19. I didn't need the internal radio in Gen 2 so I was able to save some money. I connected two devices around the house to set up and test the setup. I am setting up the for the house where I have internet as a PtP hotspot with a static IP address. I then connected a second device and configured it as a PtP station. I used bridge mode and set the bandwidth to 20. Then, once configured as an access point, I connected it to my home network, installed it in one of the hallways, and connected my laptop to the device configured as a station, and boom, it worked. I then ran a CAT6E cable outside the main house, set up an access point on the side of the house and pointed it at the cabin. I then set up the device configured as a station in my cabin and looked around the house. Once they were turned on, I got a great signal. At this point I ran the cable into the cabin and plugged in a configured UniFi wireless access point and everything worked perfectly. I've just ordered two more of these for the stables. I'm trained in installing computer infrastructure, so this may not be the solution for everyone. However, if you have basic networking knowledge, you should be able to get this working in bridge mode.
