    2.4Ghz excels indoors, to explain:

    Outside line of sight/directional is another story.
    The reason 2.4ghz is better at range is object penetration.
    I'm not an expert but imagine the 2.4ghz is half the size, can wiggle through objects easier

    Caution on this for IOT devices, cameras and such are often only 2.4ghz.

    Using your modern phone, laptop far away or point to point is the design.

    It's the other way around, the lower the frequency the 'bigger' the wave.
    Bigger waves go further and go through stuff better, the smaller 5Ghz waves are more easily absorbed or scattered by objects etc

    I need to find an IP65 rated AP or extender to place in a cold/damp garage. I was looking at something like this but judging by the comments the speeds won't be suitable.

    It's to cover OTA updates on an electric vehicle. The house has Tenda Nova mesh cubes dotted around, but the house is a bit like a faraday cage - signal doesn't reach to the detached garage.

    If anyone has any recommendations or thinks this could be suitable, I'm all ears (thanks in advance!)

    If you want a good solution to improve the WiFi in the whole house then the TP Link Deco series have some products (P9 and PX-50) that work similarly to the Tenda Nova but they can also use the powerlines in the house and/or physical network cables between them to help with poor wifi connections between the nodes. Some of the Deco products are IP 65 if you want to mount them on a pole to get better outdoor coverage.

    Just run cat6/7/8 cables from your house to the garage. Less hassle in future when there is wifi droppages etc. The deco series in meshis brilliant too.

    Be better going for 2.4 at this speed.

    I'm struggling to find anything in 2.4 at this price point that can cover the same distance.

    Are these to partner up lan segments at a distance? As in do you put one facing the other?

    Might be useful for the horses I keep in the hamlet over yonder. Hoping I can claim on expenses as I do for the heating in the stables, and for the tropical fish I keep in the moat. (edited)

    These are designed primarily for point to point connections over WiFi to fill in local network segments instead of running cable.

    Consider the win+win of binging on snacks then use the empty snacks container.
    Pringles being prime example.
    BYO wlan device - few quid chucked at CEX.

    5Ghz at 150mbps ? Kinda lame innit?
