extend wifi coverage on farm
I have a netgear router in my home but ready to buy a new one so current model is irrelevant. I have a barn that is located about 300 feet from my house and in direct line of sight (no trees or buil...
Hi sirromdraw1
There are many ways to extend signal to have a better coverage.
You may want to look into getting a router and an extender such as an R9000(router) and an EX8000(extender).
Or you may be interested of getting one of our Orbi kits.
Thanks Elaine! Both those options look promising. Regarding the R9000 and EX8000 option the documentation talks about a "dedicated wifi link" between the router and extender or a wired access point connection. For my scenario where the barn is about 300 feet away from my house I assume the router would be in the house and then would I place the extender also in the house but nearest to the barn or actually in the barn itself? For the Orbi kit I'm looking at the AC2200 (with 8000 sq feet coverage) and same question. Do I place one of the 3 satellites in the barn and can the Orbi router communicate that far away (300 feet)? Thanks, in advance.
