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!

    the ISP provided hubs are fine, if you need more ports buy another little switch.

    depends on how far the other place is… best is to dig another trench and run some SM fiber cables out there.

    or if there is a clear line of sight to install a p2p wireless bridge eg from tp-link, or ubiquities
