Coverage of a large area

I would like to purchase the proper system to cover my property.  I have a 2100 sq. ft. home and about 500 ft away I have a 2 story 2100 sq. ft. shop.  I have a small garage about 300 ft. from the house.  I have a CAT5 going to the shop now.  Should I get 2 of the Orbi Router and Satallite kits, one for the house and one for the shop?  What would be the best system hardware to keep everything on the same network?

You could use the Orbi in your home as Base router and Ethernet connect a router in your workshop back to the Orbi, configured as a Access Point.

so i would assume the internet is at the home ? so all you need there is a router / modem , the shop just needs an access point

 

the garage you ether need to run ethernet to it and an access point , or use some form of point to point bridge wifi outdoor system

 

there is a pretty good explanation of point to point below
