[AT] Was JD 216 - now OT radio networks

[Spencer Yost]

This is what I use to extend networks:

Using this I connect the barn to the home network.   Now I am able to have camera at the barns to keep an eye on expectant mothers and new babies.   Barn is about 600' away and this product works great at that distance.   It includes a small distance,  say about 70', where the radio has to punch through tree foliage.  It has never dropped connection in 1.5 years.

At 120 for a pair at amazon, you won't find a cheaper way. 

One caveat. If you don't have line of sight because of solid obstacles such as a change in grade or other buildings, I am sure performance degrades rapidly. But this would be true of any solution, so you would have a hard time of it no matter what.
