We live on a farm. There is one residential house with a hub inside. This has two Ethernet cables running underground to an office building and a portacabin in separate locations, which then connects to little hubs which extend the WiFi into those buildings.

We now want more WiFi to reach another area even further away. This is so we can run CCTV cameras. If it’s not possible we will have to get SIM card cameras and pay monthly.

But, before we do, what else can we do? I don’t think we should really be running anymore Ethernet cables off the existing hub elsewhere as, could it overload it? It just seems a lot for one residential hub.

Could we get openreach to do something?

Any ideas PLEASE throw them my way!

    We plan on running ethernet/fiber (depending on the length of run and whatnot) to our shop/barn/etc from our house.

    Ubiquity also has some awesome wireless options, but personally, I’d rather do wired.

    In the field, we use cellular data (for RTK corrections and whatnot). It’s really the only option.

    The deciding factor on what to use is really just the distance. How far away are these buildings?
