RBK 355 v RBK855 wired backhaul
Recently I replaced my old Apple system with with a top of the range router , and two range extenders. I'm not happy with the system. I've finally realised that a mesh system can use ethernet bac...
Thanks. That's good advice. The studio is on top of a large rock. If I cable it, it will be overhead. So I thought I'd try the wireless first.
How far is the studio away?
What are the exterior walls of the home and studio made from?
Exterior walls tend to be pretty good at blocking wifi as they tend to be made from things like brick, concrete, metal siding, cement board, etc. If its made from those, the wifi might not reach or if it does, it might not be usable. Tough to know without more details/seeing it.
If it is made from something that'll block the wifi, what I usually recommend for those that running a cable isn't feasible is a point to point system like netgear Airbridge. (there's cheaper version from other providers) You use that to connect the 2 and then put a satellite in the studio. The point to point system acts basically as an ethernet connection between the 2 but wireless and can link at quite extreme distances.
Thanks again for the time. The Airbridge is new to me and possibly a bit much for what's required in my case, but a very interesting product that I am pleased to know about.
I think I have the info I need now.
