How critical is line-of-sight when using the EZ-bridge.

With Wireless Bridges, a clear line of site is always recommended. Any obstructions ie; Trees, Poles, Fences, and Buildings can block or reduce the power of a wireless signal. 5GHz is more sensitive to line of site issues. 2.4Ghz is more forgiving.  Microwave signals travel in straight lines.

As they go through obstacles, they lose strength. When the signal strength gets too low (-80dBm), the receiver can’t perform well. If the distance between antennas is close, they can work well through obstacles but if the antennas are far apart, a single obstacle such as a tree can kill performance. It is best to try it and see if the signal strength and performance are acceptable.
