NEED TO GET WIFI INTO METAL BUILDING
I have a working AC3000 system with a 2nd satellite. House as the router and one satellite. My shop is a metal building with the 2nd satellite about 80 feet away. I’m tired of having the rollup door...

It worked with no problems, I used a
QWNET CPE5450 Wireless Bridge Kit, worked with no problems. Aimed them with a laser. hooked up the master to the Orbi router through a Netgear gigabit switch, verified wired internet with lap top at the satellite 2, verified Orbi satellite 2 is now showing a wired back haul. And now we have wireless in the metal building with the doors closed. I didnt even need to change there addresses.

its a 2.4 GHz Radio Frequency. Would I not be better off with a 5GHz radio like this ??? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Y5S8YX/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1OHD547O9KZHH&psc=1

5Ghz is more suseptible by building materials than 2.4Ghz is.
