Really wish that I had found this a couple of days ago. Let me start from the top.
I have Xfinity cable internet (just internet, no cable) that comes overhead via coax to my electric pole which is located at the corner of my 40x60 shop. It then runs underground thru it's own 3/8" conduit to the underside of the 1,500sq/ft mobile home about 60ft away. Here the coax comes up thru the floor into the laundry/mud room (closest to the shop) to where I used to have the old modem/router that recently quit working (AC1900 C7000v2 wifi5).
I just ordered the Orbi wifi6 AX4200 CBK752 mesh modem/router combo with 1 satellite. I was thinking that I'd come up thru the floor in the living room (middle of the house) at the TV and connect it directly to the Orbi rather than wifi (the way it was with the old wifi 5 ). Then run an ethernet cable back thru the same 3/8" conduit as the coax, into the shop where I'll put the satellite. If I find that the wifi coverage is lacking somewhere in the house, I can then add extenders or possibly a 2nd satellite (any thoughts?).
The old setup worked great and everything in the house was connected via wifi5. I even had a good signal outside as well as inside the shop IF the doors were open. I have a TV for the shop that I've never hooked up. I've only used my phone in the shop. I use it for music (Bluetooth to stereo), YouTube videos, surfing the web, etc. However, I would like to have internet for the TV as well as a tablet that will be kept in the shop.
Am I on the right track? Did I make the right equipment choice? Should I have done a separate modem router setup? If so, why?
Thank you for your input
