Router, bridge, or repeater for long distance wireless?

[CosmicVoyager]

Greetings,

What will give the best connection over very long distances, miles? A router, ethernet bridge, or repeater? And why?

I am going to use a dish antennas and transmit at 1 watt.

Thanks

I have no idea what you intend, but here is a an explanation of the basics.

Yes, I read wikipedia, and have been unable to determine what would be best from it.

I'm not sure you understand exactly what the purpose of each device is. What are you trying to do?

for your inquiry. I would recommend using a router for long distance wireless connections. A router is specifically designed to connect multiple devices and networks, making it the most efficient option for long distance connections. Additionally, routers have stronger signal strength and can handle larger amounts of data, which is crucial for longer distances.

Ethernet bridges and repeaters may also work for long distance connections, but they are not as reliable as routers. Bridges are used to connect two separate networks, so they may not be as effective for long distance connections. Repeaters, on the other hand, simply amplify the existing signal, but they can also introduce signal degradation and decrease in speed over long distances.

Using a dish antenna and transmitting at 1 watt is a good choice for long distance connections. However, it is important to keep in mind that the effectiveness of any wireless connection is dependent on various factors such as weather conditions, obstacles, and interference from other devices. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider these factors when setting up your wireless network for long distance connections.

I hope this information helps. Please feel free to reach out with any further questions. Best of luck with your wireless setup!
