Hi guys,
I have exactly the same issue that Logan has. I have the R7000 inside the house and the EX7000 in the shop. They are 300' apart, there is currently no conduit between the two and power is fed through a separate meter.
If I place the EX7000 just outside the overhead door and leave it open about 6", I have wall to wall wifi inside the shop. But if I close the door or move the EX7000 to just inside the door (even if it is open) the signal goes away. My desired state would be to keep the EX7000 inside (warm and dry) but extend the antennas so they are outside to catch the signal from the house. What are my options?
Many thanks,
Kendall
