50 yards of extension?
50 yards of extension?
She needs a solution to boost the Wi-Fi signal across 50 yards. A range extender or repeater seems like a straightforward fix, though I’m new to those devices. The setup should support basic internet use like streaming at 1080p. It’s about getting reliable performance without breaking the bank. Let me know if you have any additional details that could help. Thanks!
You likely require a large radar device and should install it at the highest possible height without any blockages. This setup could help transmit a signal that another router can repeat.
Can I operate a cable? I’m thinking of burying one and using something like a uniFi nanobeam for wireless, with a directional Wi-Fi link, then connecting an AP on the other side. That looks similar to the link you shared. A regular extender might work, but the range would be too limited, making it slow. I wouldn’t go that route if possible.
It's a reasonable price for 200 feet of Cat6 cable, and it should function well without needing extra amplifiers. I've seen some of these in use on our property. https://www.amazon.com/UbiGear-Ethernet-...ics&sr=1-3
While I agree. I wouldn't buy CCA wiring for that long of run. Secondly you need to use underground rated cabling unless your dropping a conduit in the ground. Thirdly nothing about grounding the wire. Does aluminum or copper carry an electrical charge? Yes, then it has to be grounded. Only way around that is to use Fiber.
The 200ft Cat 6 cable is working well outside for three years now.
In any case, running an Ethernet cable outside without grounding is not safe. These cables can conduct electricity, and ignoring proper grounding poses serious risks. Remember, it's crucial to protect your equipment from electrical hazards.
Previously I was assured. A lightning strike seeks a route to earth. When it arrives, it disperses beneath the surface. If you experience a direct impact or proximity, it may transmit an electrical current through the wiring. As far as I recall, Ethernet functions as a conductor. You might mitigate the risk by routing the cables in plastic conduits. However, strictly speaking, any external conductor—whether above ground or underground—should be connected to grounding.
I believe she'll settle into the current arrangement. Disrupting the cable or adjusting the second router setup might cause more issues than it solves. Appreciate the advice!
