Apr 25, 2017Extending Wireless in the yard
I am trying to get a sliver of wireless out in my barn, which is out of range of the Orbi system. I have used and have Netgear powerline adaptors and want to know if there is any way to add a wireless router in my barn, which is fed from the powerline adaptor from the Orbi network. I also have a spare Aiport Express, but from what I have read, I cannot make this into a wireless extender. Has anyone tried extending the network via powerline off the Orbi? And if so, is it possible to get wireless to that remote area? Thanks.

Sounds like a good case for PowerLine + an AP completely independent of Orbi.
Look at something like the Netgear N300/EX2700 for light duty, you can ratchet up from there.
