    its pretty much ideal if you have them wired with an ethernet backhaul. If you're putting one of the rbs20's in the apartmet side of the barn (low dust/moisture) you should be fine.  

     

    In terms of the cm1000, I'd recommend it. I've got one and it works great. It also allows you the ability to upgrade to faster speeds without having to upgrade the modem in the future.

RBK44 consists of 1 x RBR40 (Router) and 3 x RBS20 (Satellites)

The RBR40 and the RBS20 are indoor units and can't be installed outdoor.

Yes, the RBS20 has 2 x LAN Ethernet ports. Please note that the RBR40 Router has 3 x LAN Ethernet ports
