RBS750 and long range reception
Hello all, I have my house all set up with the RBS750 WiFi 6 system with 3 satellites. I have a shed 400 feet away that I want to have on the wifi network so I can remote connect to the computer out...

Right now I'm using a CCrane long range directional receiving antenna that receives the signal from the house and re-broadcasts the wifi at the shed, but it creates a new SSID so I can't use remote desktop connection to connect to the computer out there.
It would be helpful to know specifically which model of CCrane this is. (I find several on the internet.)

There are installation instructions which imply that this system acts as a router, isolating devices connected to it from the main WiFi network. As FURRYe38 pointed out, different WiFi SSIDs are a common feature of WiFi Extenders. It is the fundamental operating mode that is the issue. There does not appear to be a more comprehensive User Manual which would explain how to put this unit into different 'modes'. This might be a good time to take advantage of their Lifetime Tech Support. Maybe they can provide a more comprehensive manual or directions for changing the mode.
A search on Amazon will turn up many "WiFi point to point bridge" units that are used to provide service to out buildings (even barns!) priced from under $100 (for Chinese knock-offs) to the mid $150's.
