We have a farm building with a courtyard that with the furthest point being around 50 odd meters from the house.

Id like to get wifi coverage out there and was looking for an outdoor access point and found this..

It does appear to be only 5ghz but i cant think of many devices that would need 2.4?

Would this give me the coverage?

Whilst the text near the top of the description says it’s 5GHz only, if you scroll down to the manufacturer’s description further down the page it definitely implies it’s both 2.4 and 5.

Q: How are you planning on connecting the device to your existing network, is your wireless connection strong enough to reach the access point?

Or do you have a Ethernet connection to the outbuilding?
