I run both a wired network and a wireless network.I have a Orbi RBR50, 2 RBS50s and a RBS40 which I have placed on my Property. The RBR50 is in my living room and is connected via Cat 5 to a switch. This provides my wifi to most devices I have. I also have a RBS40 which I have place in a back bedroom. I placed it there to improve the signal out to my wifes sewing shop which is approximately 75 feet from our home. The connection is mostly used for TV. I also have a RBS50 placed in the garage to improve the signal there. I have a RBS50 that I can't get to connect to anything so I haven't deployed it.
My question concerns making the best use of the units I have to maximize the signal between the sewing shop and the house. I would be willing to purchase any other items if I need them to make this happen. The main reason I have undertaken this plan is the wife spends long hours working at her home business and I need to make sure she has a varied TV program selection and I don't want to pay the high prices Dish charges. I would also like to have all my devices on the same network.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
