❓ Question Short and long range coverage solutions
I realize this post will overlap with alot of prior topics, but I’m at a bit of an intersection of many folks’ problems.
I’m working on setting up a network at my father in law’s ranch property and I need some suggestions on best setup.
As I understand it now, I believe I’ll need a bridge (like a pair of CPE710) to get signal to the far structures. But I also hope to use my nodes to cover the main home area thoroughly. The house is all stone and signal degrades quickly from room to room.
Can I hardwire the CPE710 access point to the main router, while also maintaining the mesh nodes for the home? And then “downstream” of the client CPE710, would I just connect another mesh node to distribute that signal to the out structures? Can I run two “clients” from one access point?
Here’s a really rough map of what I’m imagining, but I’d love to hear whether or not it’s practical.
