RBS50 Satellite poor connection amber light

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;I have my RBR50 in my main home, but need to get wifi to a tuff shed thats about 120ft away from the main router. The RBS50 satellite shows amber most of the time, but drops internet every now and then. When I test the internet when it works, it shows 150mbps upload and download.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I add one more RBS50 satellite, would that help coverage?&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm not able to bring the router closer to the satelittes as the ethernet cord is at it's longest length. And I can't bring my tuff shed closer to the router :)&nbsp;&nbsp;Would another satellite help?&nbsp;Thank you!

Would the WBC502 work with the RBK50 setup?

FURRYe38 · Answer

WBC will be it's own Wifi signal between the two points.&nbsp;

Unfortunately that wont work as I only have that one ethernet input from my service provider for the RBR50.

This would wire connect I beleive behind the RBR then provide a signle out to the remote area.&nbsp;
