I need to expand my Wi-Fi coverage.
I moved into a new house, 4,700sq/ft, lots of land. The boomers who lived before wired every room with a phone line and coaxial. They used CAT5. Its not E, so its going to be super slow, so I have to run a new line.
My plan is to place an access point at each end of the house. I need to have at least 200ft of coverage for my back yard. I have a shed back there, and terrible cell service.
What is a good device on the market for this? I have a TPLink C3150 as my router, I have Wi-Fi in every room of the house, but not much of a signal outside.
Would an antenna extender work if I place one outside the window?
You sound rich. Hire a contractor.
>rich
>uses a off the shelf router
do "rich" people really?
>4,700sq/ft
>rich
I have 19000sq/ft and that's pretty normal for a house in the countryside, that's after selling 80% of the land around the house my parents originally had here
cool didnt ask tho unless youre willing to house me too
Do you live in a warehouse? Mansions are like 8k sqft and above. Thats double the size.
He's reporting the amount of land he has like a moron, not the total area of his house's floors
What kind of router do rich people use?
>hello?
>Netgear how may I help you?
> I'm rich.
>Ohhh yes sir we have a whole selection of super secret routers for rich people
wtf
>What kind of router do rich people use?
Enterprise ones instead of consumer trash.
I use a Opnsense router. Am I rich now?
Yes anon. Congratulations.
Frickin-A. for a rich person I eat a lot of noodles.
>CAT5. Its not E, so its going to be super slow, so I have to run a new line.
Absolutely fine for 1GbE.
>Its not E, so its going to be super slow
>100mbit
>super slow
yes, i have gigabit. why would i reduce my speed by 90%
TPLink's mesh system works great, and they have outdoor access points so you can cover as much of your yard as you want.
I had this same problem when I bought my house. I used picrel to run new wire from my outlets and I just put an extender from my service provider in my garage.
Everything seems to be working fine.
If there is cabling already rand just tape new cable to old cable and pull out old and pull in new. Thats what I did at my house. All the phone jacks got ethernet ports.
>boomers
>cat5
lmao, nice boomers
in my shithole boomers can't send SMS, can't readjust television antenna settings and have never used a computer
bet they tried using cat3, but it was unavailable
I know that house
