I used to use the Engenius ENH202 all the time and they were great, but last I checked the prices went up. I have recently gotten the TP Link CPE210. They are cheap, but not nearly as powerful. I was able to put the ENH202 in the middle of someone's house and generally aim it in the right direction and there would be great signal 500' away even through some trees. The TP link one needs a much better line of sight.</p><div><p class="MsoNormal">Cheers, </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Dave<br clear="all"></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Dave Tedeyan, PE</span></b></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Senior Engineer | Taitem Engineering, PC</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><img border="0" id="_x0000_i1025" src="https://www.taitem.com/signatures/logo.png"></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">110 South Albany Street | Ithaca, NY 14850</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">o. <u>607.277.1118 x121</u> f. 607.277.2119</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><a href="http://www.taitem.com" target="_blank">www.taitem.com</a></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Solar \u2022</span><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Sustainability \u2022 Energy \u2022 Design</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Certified B-Corporation since 2013</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Mon, Mar 1, 2021 at 12:20 PM Glenn Burt <<a href="mailto:Glenn.burt@glbcc.com">Glenn.burt@glbcc.com</a>> wrote:</p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">I have used a few different WiFi range extenders successfully to ge internet to a remotely located array.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></p></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">-Glenn</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Sent from my 'smart'phone, so please excuse typos and spelling errors.</span></p></div></div></div><div><div id="gmail-m_-383257236314533385LGEmailHeader"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">------ Original message------</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">From: </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Jason Szumlanski</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Date: </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Mon, Mar 1, 2021 10:39 AM</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">To: </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">RE-wrenches;</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Cc: </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt"></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Subject:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt">[RE-wrenches] Enphase IQ Envoy Distance for Monitoring</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></p></div></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">How far has anyone ever put an IQ Envoy from an array and successfully monitored it?</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I am planning a ground mount that is 300 feet from a home with 12/240V service.
