Hi everyone, want to ask for any recommendation or opinion for an outdoor AP/Repeater for my factory. Currently on unifi 100Mbps plan.
Thinking of connect the device to the router in my office and mount it on top of my office roof with a pole or to the column of the porch outside.
My factory is around 4.5acres but mostly is only metal roof and no wall blocking. The distance from my office to the last location is around 150meter.

Comfast, Wavlink, Tplink...so hard to choose.

Tplink CPE210
Tplink EAP110-Outdoor
Comfast CF-E130N V2
Comfast CF-E317A 11KM
Comfast CF-EW72
Comfast CF-EW74
WAVLINK AC1200 Outdoor

The AP setup for serving indoor device or outdoor device? (Some outdoor CPE/AP signal is directional)
And how many device might be connected to the AP at the same time?
Need high speed for the device or just having connectivity for internet only?

Edit:
Just read the post again,
You just want to Point to Point network transmission between 2 place?

If point to point network transmission for short-mid distance, and the distance between 2 point is still your own premise,then u might consider to setup with outdoor fiber optic cable,then the connection stability will be more better than using wireless.

I just want to cover my factory with internet connection since my area is dead zone for all telco, 4g is non existance in the area. Need the wifi calling and internet for whatsapp email etc.
Not looking for very high end one, but at least a reliable one.

no 4G report to SKMM

Sounds like a job for a professional installer. Since you want to cover the entire 4.5 acre property with reliable WiFi coverage. better let a professional to plan and install the WiFi network. It will save you from endless headache plus there will be technical support when network issue crop up.

Even if the AP signal power is strong enough, your phone signal power is not strong enough for the AP to "hear back"

Might ended in a case where you can see the WiFi network but couldn't connect to it once you are far enough.

Best case scenario is to add multiple AP around your factory. If you're on a budget, get mesh WiFi instead and put it higher with line of sight to each mesh node for maximum performance.

I concur multiple AP. Lan cable easy to pull around factory.

can we use outdoor wifi inside our homes?

The walls at my parents house is way too thick.

Outdoor WiFi doesn't mean it is more powerful, it means it is designed for harsh weather environment with better materials.

In fact, generally indoor APs got stronger signal than outdoor APs.
