Good morning!!!!

[Ed of all trades]

Got the flooring down in the pantry today. Wife thinks it is great so I do too. Not as worried about a litter box smelling an just having to clean it and to many feral cats around here for a doggy door.

Rip, praying for you and your wife and will keep at it.

Drew go over to your neighbors and ask if he has an old junk microwave and get the magnet out of that. Tie it to a stick and

Have a good night. Ed

Ron,

How far is the shop and barn from the house ?

IOW: What distance are you covering with that extender ?

I think I'm at around 400' or so up here the shop from the house.

About 150’ with each. Don’s pool and garage are about the same distance. His tractor barn is about 400’. But he may be looking for more coverage in the house. Costco and Sam’s club have good routers for in-house on sale. Get the most powerful your pocket book will allow.
Going 400’ may require specialized antennas to transmit that far. My main router claims 600’. But the signal does not work good in metal barn or shop. The extenders solved that problem.

Don I have a 3 band Netgear router. R8500 I believe. It does a good job in the house. But not in shop and barn. Added a Netgear N300 extender to these buildings. They work great and cost about $30 on Amazon.

Ron, where did you install your extenders? At house or in / near your out buildings? I’ve got same issue here but my shop is probably 1000-1200 ft. from ranch house.

My out building isn't that far away from my wireless router (Netgear R7000), but both it and the house are stucco, and the wire mesh stops radio signals cold. I ended up running CAT6 cable between the two, and using another Netgear R7000 as a repeater. PITA to dig the trench, but there's no speed halving like when using a wireless extender.

I also ditched Netgear's firmware and installed Toastman Tomato. Easy to set up and simple because it drops all the bellz and whistles I'd never need or want.

The extenders are inside the 2 building. My iPhone and iPads work work well with the extenders. I have 5g in the house. It works well while inside. Our house is concrete block. Lucky to get any signal outside.
If I needed to go further. I would do like RNG did. Run hard wire.

Found the lay z boy issue, piece wearing, and im not a metal worker, but might file it some, might help.

I use to stock all those parts, La-Z-Boy sent them to me free of charge to service their customers, I still had a bunch in my building that burned. If you get the model number and contact them, they will often send a replacement part or entire unit. They have lifetime warranties.
