Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it should .... I would make sure there's as little obstacles as possible in the way though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Ejrfan, it's possible that Orbi may increase the available signal in your barn, but it's difficult to say for certain. Orbi is designed to work best inside the home and provide whole home coverage (even in very large homes.) The difficulty here is the placement of the Orbi satellite -- you would want to position the Orbi satellite as close to the barn as possible to increase the chances the signal will extend far enough. Keep in mind that there are many factors that could affect this such as outside interference and the construction of the barn (metal) and the home (brick) which will also make it more difficult. If you're concerned about these factors, you can still use Orbi to improve your wi-fi coverage in home, and look for an alternative solution for the barn, such as a mobile hotspot for example.
