Currently have Wi-Fi in the house off a landline which is slow as a funeral, and have Wi-Fi in the office running from a 4g router which is great, reliable and quick, been doing some thinking and if I could find a way to have the house Wi-Fi running off the office box would be ideal.
The distance from the box in the office to the house is 60 meters across a paddock with clear line of sight, so the question is would I be better using a Wi-Fi bridge to send it down or an Ethernet cable, originally i thought a bridge sounded fantastic but reading through other threads have seen talk of configuring the bridge boxes to talk to each other and having to reset them to keep them working, I have a basic understanding of computers and Wi-Fi and all that but just wondering if it would be easier to get the digger out and just put in a reliable cable and be done with it. Any advice would be appreciated as the more I read on them the more a bridge sounds like a headache but maybe someone can explain more.
Ideally looking for something that is just plug and play, but not sure if such a thing exists. Thanks
