Metal pole barn
I have a metal pole barn/garage, which is only maybe 50' from my house, that I'm having trouble getting wifi into. I bought a R7000P Nighthawk to extend my coverage from my house but that didn't help...
Netgear's Airbridge is a wireless bridge setup.
You'd get 2 of them.
1 you'd mount on the house and point at the garage
the other you'd put on the garage.
The you'd use a wireless access point inside the garage to connect to the bridge on the garage.
The metal is going to block signals. So you need something to get the signal to the garage and then something in the garage to connect to that device and rebroadcast it.
Thank you, that sounds simple enough! The product you mentioned is unavailable though, could you or someone else recommend a different product? Thanks again.
Might look up Air Bridge WiFi on Amazon and see whats available.
- Not available on Amazon or anywhere else, must have been discontinued. A lot of generic bridge set ups come up on Amazon, not sure what's good and what's not. Guess I'll just have to pick one and try it. Why does this have to be so complicated? Lol
