Meraki Wireless point to point link maximum range

Hello Experts,

 

Typically the range that can be achieved by a Meraki AP can reach up to 100m with omnidirectional antennas as per documentation

 

https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/WiFi_Basics_and_Best_Practices/Access_point_range_and_signal_str...

 

If I want to achieve a point to point wireless link with outdoor APs and directional antennas what could be the maximum range assuming there is unobstructed line-of-sight and low interference?

 

What should be the best band (2.4/5/6G) , antennas , MR model for such setup?

 

Thanks in advance

Kind of a big deal

In theory you can go miles with directional antennas.  Example: https://rfelements.com/products/starterdish/starterdish-um-antennas/overview

 

Honestly, I don't think Meraki is best suited for point-to-point to links, but may work fine for you.  You can pick up a pair-of-point to point radios for about $100  USD of various brands that will just work out of the box for fairly long distances.

I'm with @BrandonS , Meraki is not a good solution in this space.
