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!
I would upgrade all links to fiber optics. Make your measurements and you can buy custom sizes or pre-done sizes (these are cheaper) of single mode fiber with connectors. Then get used HP or other reputable make switches and the adapters. It’s all plug and chug. Look for cables that you can directly bury without need for any conduit. If you need help in identifying all the equipment, let me know.
