Mesh System on about 10 acres with two houses (alien.top)

Hello all,

I am very new to the networking stuff since I've always used my parents or whatever was offered by an apartment complex, so I may need some pointers. I was looking at doing a mesh system for the new property. We just had a fiber optic cable put in, and the port is in one house and not the other. Can we use a mesh system for this or is there a better solution to get internet to both houses. I would ballpark and say that the houses are about 100 yards or so away from each other...

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The best solution is likely running fiber between a switch in each house... but that involves trenching and a lot of work.

A point to point wireless system, as others have noted, would be much easier and should work fine.
