I'm living in a timber farmhouse in a remote area that has no cell reception. I have a dual 4G dual antenna on the roof that points to a cell tower 5 miles away over the hills and is connected to a 4...
My question is, what is the realist range of the signal from these devices, mine would be straight line through glass, so I can get cell over wi-fi reception outside of the house to a reasonable distance. I'm assuming the ones published are theoretical so I'm looking for real world ranges.
Orbi mesh systems are intended to provide high performance wifi coverage inside a house (or building). You are wanting something a bit different, so it's hard to say how well it would work. Among other things, it depends on how far the paddock is from the garage.
There are some other possibilities you could consider. If the garage and paddock are both getting AC power from the house circuit breakers, then you might consider trying powerline networking. There are powerline systems that have built-in WiFi. Netgear used to make some (not sure if they still do), and of course there are other vendors. That would be your least expensive option, so worth a try.
Another option is to get an outdoor wifi system, and connect it with ethernet to your existing modem (or router if that is separate). Cost would probably be similar to the Orbi system, and those products are a better fit for what you want to do.
