Hi,
There is a drone image attached. 14 villas across 2 hectares.

Hate to be a pessimist but i don't think your going to get that working all wireless. That's too much distance. You'll need some type of ethernet or coaxial backhaul.

Glad to hear it works. Were you able to get it done wirelessly or did you figure out a wired backhaul? I've seen the consumer used with 6 devices but never 8. I'm curious what speeds you're getting in each villa in comparison with what you pay?

All wirelessly! We pay $800NZ a month for our fibre plan.
When we were full, the speeds in the villas were around 52.4 download and 63.7 upload.
Today, we are almost empty - 92.6 download and 96.4 upload.
Seriously happy with how it is ticking along!
