daisy chain Nighthawk mesh wifi network to reach remote guest house.
I have a guest house that is quite a distance from the main residence. In the main residence I have a Nighthawk Wifi 6 mesh network with 1 base and 2 satellites. I want to purchase an additional sate...
How much distance are you talking about?
sometimes a point to point system is better but without more details its tough to know.
What actual system do you have?
Here is what I have:
I have to go about 200 ft and there is no way to get a good signal with the environment it's in. I've tried with my phone and a laptop and it's just too far. If a new satellite wouldn't work I would consider some sort of WIFI extender. I would still want to hard wire it though. Maybe it's called back haul? I don't really know if this is the same as daisy chaining and if you can do it with just the satellites.
So you have a wired connection that far?
The wired backhaul KB article from netgear doesn't address this and I haven't used either MK63/83 to test it.
Maybe Christian_R can chime in here the satellites can run off one of the other satellites hardwired.
I will have a cable running that far. I will use a direct bury ethernet cable and just put it a couple of inches underground. No digging really...just cut a slot with a something like a plow or pick ax tooth
