Task Description
Communications between the rover and the base station will utilize 5 Ghz, 2.4 Ghz and 900 Mhz bands. Higher bandwidth bands, such as 5Ghz, will be prioritized for higher throughput, while 900 Mhz channels will be employed over long range. Transmitting antennas mounted on the base station are directional, and all receiving antennas mounted on the rover are omnidirectional and powered over ethernet. Once the rover’s mobility platform is operational, range, latency and video streaming tests will be conducted.

I’ll write up a condensed article/wiki on all the necessary theory to understand our network topology, but those videos are everything I watched to set up our current network.
