ORBI topology?
I have a 4500 SF two story home - ground floor is about 3,000 SF with the balance on the 2nd story. I have a 3000 SF shop (metal building) that is approximately 100' from the house (line-of-site). ...
Thanks. You're not telling me anything I didn't expect to hear. I considered the wireless 'bridge' but from what I can tell the speeds are considerbly slower than a Mesh Network. Since I expect to 'steam' events (football games and Nascar races) in the shop (man cave), I'm concerned about speed. Do you think connecting the house to the shop via 'wireless bridge' would be fast enough to support streaming of live events? Can the wireless bridge support a seamless network between the house and the shop or would have have to set up a seperate WiFi network in the shop?
I would recommend CrimpOns suggestion of running a buried LAN cable out to the shop, then install a RBS there on the LAN cable and run the RBS as wired satellite. This will be like a wired AP with singals available at the shop. You should have signals inside the shop however signals outside will be limited.
