NEED TO GET WIFI INTO METAL BUILDING
I have a working AC3000 system with a 2nd satellite. House as the router and one satellite. My shop is a metal building with the 2nd satellite about 80 feet away. I’m tired of having the rollup door...

It worked with no problems, I used a
QWNET CPE5450 Wireless Bridge Kit, worked with no problems. Aimed them with a laser. hooked up the master to the Orbi router through a Netgear gigabit switch, verified wired internet with lap top at the satellite 2, verified Orbi satellite 2 is now showing a wired back haul. And now we have wireless in the metal building with the doors closed. I didnt even need to change there addresses.

Definally give it a demo try. Nothing wrong in trying it out and sending it back if it doesn't.
