Is there any equipment to help align a point to point wifi dish 5 miles apart?
I have two wifi dishes to install about 5 miles apart. Rather than do the flashlight or eyeball method to initial alignment, is there any equipment out there (like mounted laser pointer) that helps initially align wifi dishes?
I have ways to measure the gain for peak alignment. My question involves alignment before doing the gain peak. If there is some laser that I can mount on the dish and point it towards the other and find a way to receive it, that would be great. I'm finding ways to get a straight alignment faster that the way we already do this.
I rather have one side pointing directly straight, right off the bat, rather than having both sides off by 15-20 degrees right off the bat.

You could try a satellite dish pointer. It measures the gain control voltage. I'm not sure it will work for wifi. You could also use a laptop. Most of them show a small icon for received signal strength. Aim the dishes until you max out the little graph for the signal strength.
You will need a person at each end. Move only one dish at a time. While moving one dish, you need to measure the received strength at the other end. Then reverse the procedure. This has to be done several times to make sure the dishes are aligned. Until I retired, part of my job was installing and aiming microwave dishes.
