RBR50/RBS50 daisy chain questions
My RBR50 and 2 RBS50's are still running fine for 5 years. 6 months ago I added another RBS50 to cover another area of the property - it's also running fine. I have a star configuration, 5GHz backhaul. Originally my requirements were for Wi-Fi coverage in the house (3000 sq ft) and outside doorbells and cameras. I now need coverage for the yards surrounding the house (the property is about 2 acres) for a robot lawn mower (please don't laugh too much). This thing has GPS, Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), and Bluetooth for various functions. It generally works and I've relocated one RBS50 to give better Wi-Fi coverage to that side of the property. Another RBS50 is located in a barn about 50' from RBR50. I'm considering adding a 4th RBS50 (using the daisy chain feature) at the east end of the barn to improve coverage to the east side. Is ethernet backhaul the best solution for this new satellite rather than 5GHz backhaul? I've looked over all the daisy chain postings here and I think this is the correct solution.

If it is practical, an Ethernet connection is almost always superior to a WiFi connection. Running Ethernet cable inside a barn seems SO much easier than inside a typical finished house. "Go for it!"
