I have purchased 2 CPE210 directional antennas to extend my wifi coverage to my shop which is 200 ft from my house. I haven't installed them yet and am not sure that I will need two of the. I am wondering if they are the best directional antennas for the job or should I return them and get another model. Any advice will be appreciated.

thanks,

hwms

The CPE210 is desgined for line of sight communication at Distances greater than 1Km.  This may be overkill for you.  You may want to consider this:  EAP225-outdoor  Its is a Omi-dirrectional AP that is designed to work in a outdoor enivorment.  It is also capable of mesh so if one unit just doesn't reach the distance you need you can add an additional unit.  I believe 1 unit should be able to cover the  distance but depending on deployment you may need two.

I really don't want an Omi-dirrectional antenna. The CPE210 may be overkill but it is directional I am pretty sure. On the other hand, I had rather not have other people mooching off my wifi. Looks like it will be trial and error. Thanks for the info.
