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’m in the States so I am not sure if these folks ship internationally or if there is a UK equivalent, but their equipment is for rural/farm setups.

    If this won’t work, what you will need is a WiFi AP thats high power, long range and is rated for outdoor use.

    As for overloading your hub with ethernet, as long as you have a good 1Gbps switch you should be fine.
