It's OK, maybe half the time, I'll get stable and consistent 30mbps to my neighbour. So Speedtest or torrents at a nice 60mbps. However, because the wifi link is 2.4Ghz, on bad days, it goes down to 10 sometimes even 5mbps with a ton of packet loss most likely due to interference from somewhere. It's hard to say.

That was months ago, now we're both on 50mbps but I haven't had time to do speed tests.

Very nice. That is considered pretty decent enough. Down time rate is quite low so negligeble. Kudos!

Thines11, yes, possible. I'm using a wireless bridge from my house to my neighbours house.

It's something like this:

UniFi30#1 ------ RB2011(my router) ------ hAP Lite ---{wifi}--- Asus RT-N2D1(Neighbour) ------ UniFi30#2

More info here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=83909578

Though I'm doing it for a different reason, the principles are the same.

What hAP Lite is for?

The hAP Lite functions as the wifi link to the Asus.

The setup can be simplified by removing the hAP Lite and doing everything on the RB2011UAS-2HnD but I was planning to upgrade the main router to an RB750Gr3 which doesn’t have wifi so that’s one reason why I used the separate hAP Lite.

Hi, I'm using 2 Archer C7 with openwrt for wireless bridge using relayd. Using 5Ghz band. No penalty(half bandwidth with this setup). Recipes (how to) available on the openwrt website. Currently my Kodi and main pc are connected to the bridge. Can stream full hd movies while watching full HD YouTube on. No problem

When using stock Archer C7 firmware getting around 1 MB/s because using WDS. Now with openwrt relayd getting around 11 - 12 MB/s. Basically relayd routed the traffic from wifi to Lan. Thus you are getting the full wifi speed your system can offer.

My connection speed is 50Mbps, how much will i get from the bridging. The main router in the master bedroom(upstairs) while the bridge will be in the hall (Downstairs)

50mbps no problem. Assuming good signals both ways and a fairly good radio environment.
