RAX45 on Fiber network, extend to outbuilding.
I have a fiber optic network to three buildings at my property; a cottage, our house, and a shop/studio barn. Our new Netgear WiFi is not getting into the metal skin barn, but is intermittently access...
1Fireguy,
You may want to check out the EAX80 WiFi 6 extender.

Thank you for your reply Christian,
I looked up the EAX80, and I cannot how it obtains the signal that it turns to WiFi, is it hardwired into the wall port, and meshes the SSID with the main router, or is it simply magnifying the original router’s signal?

Hi 1Fireguy,
The EAX80 would be an extender essentially extending your router's signal. But because the RAX45 supports WiFi 6 standards, the EAX80 is a great pair to your RAX45 as the EAX80 also supports WiFi 6.
