B&B Large & Small Houses - Two Orbis and One Internet Connection?
I have a Bed & Breakfast that consists of a large 3-story, 10,000 sq ft home and a 2-story 2,000 sq ft guest house that sits about 200 feet away from the main house. I was planning on using the Orbi...
WiFi icoverage will depend on the physical construction and shape of the building and the location of the access points.
If the floors are essentially 50x50ft squares of typical wood frame construction and the WiFi access point is located in the center, then one satellite should service a floor. If each floor is a 100ft x 25ft rectangle with concrete walls, things get a lot more "interesting". Likewise for the smaller building.
I'm guessing that this building already exists and it is too late to run ethernet cables to each bedroom.
One seamless WiFi network will be a LOT more convenient to manage as guests move between buildings.
