Range extenders for 5 acre property
Hi, I have a 5 acre property I want to install wifi security cameras all around and there is a small house about 250 feet from the main house that I want to get as good as possible wifi signal to as ...
Looks like the ASK-NCQ1338 is there home internet gateway. Its got an ethernet port on it.
So you could use pretty much any of the mesh systems you choose. You'd simple hardwire the router (from the mesh system) into the gateway. then you'd either put the mesh router in access point mode or go into the gateway (verizon) and put it in modem only/passthrough mode. that prevents a double nat.
If you're looking at having some of these mesh satellites outdoors, I'd look around for a mesh system that has outdoor access points.
Thanks for the reply. Can you direct me to a Netgear mesh system that is compatible with a Verizon 5g hotspot?

Makes sense.
So something like this AX3000 (please correct me if this looks wrong).
For the outdoor access points, looks like Netgear haven't released compatible Wifi 6 ones yet. Still waiting for Wifi 6 equivalents of RBS50Y-2CCNAS. Based on this forum thread, could put satellite extenders in a plastic box as a workaround.
"For the significant cost of the Outdoor RBS50Y with the lower performance when not used with an AC3000 system, I'd strongly recommend saving your coin for a future AX outdoor solution. Other consideration is if you can put a weather safe enclosure over the RBS750 and use one of those outdoors. As long as it's plastic (or non-metallic) it shouldn't interfere with the WiFi 6 signal strength. A number of companies make nice plastic clamshells to put AP's outdoors. Just measure and then search for the right size. Many are very reasonable in cost (less than $50.00)."
Thanks for your help. If no corrections to the statements in this last post, I'll mark your last response as solution đ
As much as a like netgear, I'm doubtful they'll release any wifi 6 outdoor mesh access points for orbi.
TP-Link has an X-50-outdooor that can be added to their systems.
I'd probably go that route if you're looking for outdoor devices. I'd also push for the triband setups. they're a bit more but they're dedicated backhaul preserves speeds much better. The dual band systems satellites take significant speed hit and that's if you're setting up in a star configuration. A daisy chain is even slower/higher latency.
Star: satellite<-------router-------------->satellite
Daisy: Router-------------->Satellite---------------->Satellite
Thanks for your help!
