Orbi RBR50

Sorry if I have selected the "wrong" board, or ....

 

I have the "old" Orbi and a satellite, and I have no problem with them for streaming, Internet, and the like.

 

What I would appreciate information about, though, is suggestions/comments on establishing a Home-only network for security cameras.  I do not wish their "signal" to reach the Internet, and so on.

 

I would like routers with the absolute widest range, because I need to mount some cameras on a couple of buildings other than the house.  Wired cameras are not a reasonable alternative for what I need.

 

Besides suggestions on the best routers, I would appreciate any information about what wireless cameras to use or to not use.

 

The other buildings are fairly close to the house 20-50 feet, at most.  Hopefully, I can get routers (I presume I will surely need more than one) which I can keep in the house and will connect to multi-camera central system.

 

Again, I will appreciate any/all comments and suggestions.

 

Many thanks.

    Something to maybe check with a security camera mfr for recommendations on camera use and suggestions for placement and configurations. 

     

    Orbi systems can only do a certain amount of wifi coverage and handle a certain amount of devices.
