Extending WiFi Mesh to Outbuildings

Question

I am trying to extend a network to two outbuildings (barn about 180' from house, cabin about 250' from house). Concurrent with an electrical upgrade, I will be burying a Cat 6 cable to both buildings so hardwiring is the preferred option.

I am interested in getting the Orbi Wi-Fi 6 system to future proof myself as much as possible and get better speeds in the immediate vicinity around each outbuilding.

The intended use for the internet in the outbuildings is general internet use including streaming video, FaceTime, etc.

I have sketched out how I think the Orbi system would be connected, but am concerned that I'm missing something and this plan won't work.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations anyone in this community has and thanks in advance.

Your hardwired option is the best.&nbsp;Your sketch won't show up for a few days as moderators have to approve them. You can click on "choose file" and attach it that route and we can see it right away

Looks like a solid plan that you have drawn up.&nbsp;
