Wireless Backhaul or Ethernet
I need help getting wi fi over to my pool house. I have Orbi 24 with (3) satellites around my house that work great. I have now added a pool house about 250’ from the router. During construction I ran a cat 5 wire over for internet. I am now trying to see what Ethernet orbi device I need to plug in for wi fi around the pool house. I know with the satellites we are to far to sync.

You may need to disable Daisy Chain on the router...
Any networks switches in the mix after the Orbi router? if so, whats the Mfr and model#? Non Managed switches are preferred.
If the pool house is 250' away, you can also consider installing an independent wired access point at the pool house. Set it to use different channels than Orbi. You can probably do this more cheaply than buying a standalone Orbi satellite. You could use an old router in AP mode, if you still had one.
