Best Mesh Router for metal barn
I bought a EAX80 but it is not working well with my metal barn. The signal is not getting through. I would like to purchase a Netgear mesh router that can have the router in the barn but I can hook up...
Thanks. Is there a router that I can hook up with an antenna outside the walls?
If you put an antenna outside the walls, what broadcasts internally to the walls?
And if you buy a router just for this task and another for inside, it'd be better off going with the system designed for point to point as it'll have higher bandwidth and lower latency
- Thanks for the reply. I thought you could unscrew the external antenna and attach a cable to an antenna you could put outside the building.
Here is what I read…

Is this not possible?You could potentially do that. But the antenna is send/receive. And if its on the external side of the building, what broadcasts inside it the building as the metal is still going to be blocking it from reaching inside the building?
Are you going to hardwire a router/extender to the router to act as the access point inside the building?
thanks for link I was looking for this answer.
