Hello network dudes!
My family owns 2 three-story blocks as you can see in the image below. F2 and F3 of B1 and F3 of B2 are rentable apartments, and we provide internet connection via the Ubiquiti AP LR that is located inside the F3 of B1, which I am planning to replace with an outdoor AP and I decided to go Mikrotik.
I am interested in BaseBox 2 and OmniTik 5, and I have some concerns which I am about to break down.
Basebox 2
Why I consider it: 2.4 GHz is probably the best option for this setup. Better in every aspect than the UAP AC, so it just gonna work anyway. I also already have 2 huge high-gain antennas to hook it with, so no extra cost for that.
What is my concern: I don't wanna interfere with all my neighbours' APs
Omnitik 5
Why I consider it: No interference with neighbours' APs. Integrated antennas for the same price as Basebox.
What is my concern: I am afraid that 5GHz is not good enough for penetrating the walls. Maybe the furthest spots inside the apartments will really struggle getting signal.
So which one do you think that would make the cut better? Or maybe should i consider some other device?
Thanks in advance, every opinion is appreciated
