    Hi magica2, yes, ideally it should.

Hi magica2, we cannot provide a specific coverage area since network environments differ and there may be several factors that can affect signal quality. The EAX80 is designed to work in large homes and given your description of your projected setup, coverage should not be an issue. Yes, you can connect another EAX80 to another in AP mode.

Thank you for that answer, Dexter, to both of my questions. Yes, I need to get the WiFi signal about 110 feet from where the EAX80 will be. It only has to go through one uninsulated wall, on a second floor, and then it is clear line-of-sight outside to where I need to get it, back by my horse stables. The horse stables are just covered with a roof and one wall not in the line-of-sight. Can you just confirm that the signal will reach? Thanks.
