Hi
I live on a farm with various converted barns around an area of about 150m squared. But all the barns have thick stone walls and few windows.
The router is in the main farmhouse and gets all round the house obviously, and outside in the parking area as long as you are in clear sight of the router. But it cannot make it through any of the thick stone walls.
We got this TP-Link TL WA5210G outdoor extender access point thing. We set it up in a more suitable place and attached it by a very long ethernet cable to the router. We followed all the instructions, and yet it was still very unstable. It did get into the barns though, but some computers could not connect, and the main problem was that the internet was intermittent whether you were connected to the main router or the access point. It seemed to mess the whole system up! After reading reviews this seems fairly common.
So we are at a loss for what to do. Does anyone know what piece of equipment we need in this situation? Is there anything that can extend the wifi around a large area and be solid and stable?
Also, I live just round the corner of a stone wall that the wifi does not make it around, is there anyway to get wifi around one corner like that? Also, if you plug directly into the router via ethernet, then how long can the ethernet cable be and still be stable?
thanks, any info greatly appreciated, we've been trying to work it out for weeks in our spare time!!
