Garden Home Office - Wireless Access Point from an IP Transmission Bridge
I'm currently on Superfast broadband, being upgraded to Full Fibre on Friday 17th October by a Sky engineer.
I live in a semi-detached house and have recently had a home office cabin installed in our garden, approximately 50 meters distance from the back of the house. Our broadband router (Sky Broadband Hub) is in the front room of the house and wifi currently doesn't reach the cabin.
I plan to run an ethernet cable (via a PoE power injector) to an IP transmission bridge transmitter at the rear of the house. A bridge receiver at the cabin end will terminate in an ethernet port switch in the cabin.
I plan to provide wired internet to my laptop and TV, but would also like wifi access. To enable wifi in the cabin;
a.) can I plug a wifi access point into an ethernet port in the cabin?
b.) do Sky provide a suitable wifi access point product? If not, which compatible product would be recommended?
c.) what do I need to do (if anything) to setup and 'mesh' the wifi networks and allow me to roam between both wireless access points (main router and cabin)?
Thanks in advance.
