Outdoor access point - What to buy?

RouterOS General
1

I am trying to provide wireless internet for a few friends homes near mine (100m-150m).

I have a 10ft pole on my roof, which is higher than all the other homes in the area. Attached right now is a WAP using the 2.4GHz band, but range is very lacking at around 20m from the house.

I presume there is a better outdoor AP for this purpose, does anyone have any suggestions? Range is far more important than speed and 5GHz is not important.

Thanks!

I concure with @anav
I personally use a Wireless-Wire for a similar situation and i am very Happy.

But If the Wetter is bad where you live (heavy rain, a lot of snow, etc)
Maybe try the Wireless Cube out(it as both a 60 GHz and a 5 GHz failover)

Alternatively,

If performance really doen’t play a factor and the Budget is very tight ..
Almost all Point-to-Point solution from Mikrotik will do…

For exemple a a Pair of LHG 2 or LHG 5 will solve your problem for 120$ insteed of the 200+$
