SIgnal not making it to out building
We purchased the Orbi hoping to solve our issue of not getting wifi in our newly constructed out-building. Our internet comes into the basement furnace/utility room. Is about 60 feet and a lower leve...
We have the Orbi RBK 50 and it works very well at home, using a satellite upstairs. We are having an office built at the end of the garden and I can put wired cabling to thhe building. I just don't know what to do next? I presume we will have a socket in the office but what to I need to extend our wifi out there. I really need specifics e.g. If I need a wireless access point, which one? And how do I connect to it? Do I buy another Orbi router and set it up as an access point? Also what do I need to connect the office to the wifi in the main house? Help! Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
You would just need to buy another Orbi satellite and have the ethernet cable run from you main orbi router to the new satellite in the office and enable the Ethernet back haul function inside the orbi settings.
