SUMMARY
For long-distance wireless connections, using a router, ethernet bridge, or repeater each serves distinct purposes. A router is optimal for managing network traffic and connecting multiple devices, while an ethernet bridge is best for linking two network segments over long distances. A repeater amplifies signals to extend range but does not manage traffic. Given the use of dish antennas and a 1-watt transmission, an ethernet bridge is recommended for the best performance over miles.
