One of the reasons we chose this router is because you can buy a range extender to take the signal farther. The salesman said many routers do not have this feature but the Linksys does.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Place the RE7000 in the barn to extend the wireless coverage. It might cover, but it would be at the edge of the signal strength, by "bridging" the wireless you would get better coverage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have an old router you can use it as a extender or buy an extender should be able to punch it out 150 feet. It's not going to work as fast as a wired system but it will get you there.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'd place the EA7300 in the highest spot in the house (Wi-Fi signals fall) and on the wall closest to the barn. Use cable to hard wire it to the modem if possible. Then place the range extender in the barn on the wall closest to the house and at or near the floor line (too high might "miss" the signal from the house). I'm not sure if the EA7300 will reach that far but making sure to place the modem high up will give you the best chance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.None of the above. Ideally, you will need a router (any model that begins with EAxxxx) in your house. Secondly, you will need ANOTHER router (any model that begins with EAxxxx) for the barn. The router in the barn needs to be placed in BRIDGE mode. Any other setup is LESS than ideal, believe me. You will need a CAT5/6 to the barn. Using wireless to try to extend wireless is the dumbest thing I have ever heard but all these router companies are making money off it. As you already know, your signal to the barn is garbage, garbage in garbage out. Run the CAT5/6 line and you will have a TRUE extended network with blazing speed, and a real nice wireless signal all over your property. I am using a EA9500 & EA7300, it's pricey BUT once, and done.
