Extending to shed

Hello

 

I have just installed an Orbi RBR850 with 3 satellites into my house. All working well

 

I would like to have wi-fi in my shed which is 30m from the house

 

There is an existing fibre optical cable already in place and wanted to ask the forum how I can get wi-fi here without having to add another satellite (cost)

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

      I have a transmitter in the house and a receiver in the shed. Not connected to ISP

       

      My Starlink is connected by ethernet to my Orbi so I can pop an ethernet cable into the back of this and then into the transmitter. The receiver has an ethernet port.

       

      Does this help?

       

      Thanks

        I've never setup a home fibre line. 

        If its acting as a basic ethenet connection between the 2 points (with what you have setup), you should just be able to add a satellite to it. 

        Again, thats all dependant on how you have it setup.
