Can anyone recommend a wifi-setup for my home + office. These are the requirements:
- 2 buildings, about 15 meters apart.
- Building 1 - our house - wooden 2 storey house with a massive chimney in the middle that kills all signals. This is the entry point for our fibre broadband
- Building 2 - office space - wooden 2 storey building, no chimney.
- there’s a CAT5 cable between the buildings
- 5-10 computers / devices online at any given moment.
Current setup is Apple airports, last gen, but they’re struggling. I on the other hand struggle to engage with anything overly technical so something with an intuitive interface would be great. If I can hide stuff it will be a bonus.

Thanks in advance you beautiful nerds

mesh ethernet backhaul are the words you're looking for

I've got Cat5 through the house and a few Eero routers that each have a Cat5 cable going in
They've worked well for me. Shame you weren't looking a week or so ago when they'd have been cheap on Prime Day.

Tp-Link Deco will have similar stuff, as will plenty others

If there's CAT5 between the buildings, I would go with something like this.

I have this (and another XD8 in the garage) all wired together. I get a full 1.2Gbps wired and around 7-800Mbps wireless across the entire house. Faultless.
