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?

Re: Coverage of a large area
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
