New barn... (garage/shop/storage building 30'x80') all metal... Wifi sometimes reached the area before the build but is a no-workie inside the building. I have a wifi 6 TP-link AX 6000 router and a TP-link 18 port GB switch in the house.
Yes there are other / cheaper ways to do, extenders / mesh etc. Cat cable ruled out due to lightning damage concerns, so, this is the route I decided on so we go from here...
I have bought 2 strand OM3 multimode direct bury fiber and media converters. That should get me a nice big "fat pipe" to the barn.
For NOW... I need recommendations for a good AP for in the barn. OR maybe I hang it on the outside of the barn to cover the back yard better while still serving the inside well. Make and model? Wifi 6 AC desired, or AX. probabally an outdoor version due to dust and temp range. Barn has no climate control for now.
Future plans include a security camera build out for the house and barn. Maybe a dozen cameras max. I had the crazy? idea of putting/hiding a NVR in the barn so it would be impossible to find basically. My GB+ rated network should provide plenty of band width should it not?
Thanks all!
