Having read some of the pinned posts I'm afraid I'm still struggling to wrap my head around the best way to do this.
In 2 weeks I'm having a Fibre to the home connection installed from the pot on the road to my house 40 meters away. We also have a detatched annexe around 20m away from the main house which is currently provided with internet via a separate phone line.
Obviously I'd like to take advantage of the fibre line in both buildings if possible without compromising connectivity in the annexe as there is around 4 hardwired devices being used plus WiFi devices.
I'm planning on pre diggging the portion of the trench between the two buildings and running a sheilded cat6 from where the fibre will enter the house and the annexe.
The provider uses the linksys velop system to act as a router and mesh wifi system as far as I am aware. With my limited knowledge I'm wondering if I can just purchase a Linksys router to install in the annexe that can just act as an extension of the mesh network and still be able to utilise the 4 ethernet ports for the hardwired devices? Something is telling me it won't be quite as simple as that, or I may be barking up the wrong tree completely.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on the best way to do this?
Apologies if some of my explanation is lacking but as I said, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to networks like this.
Thank you.
