Ultra Hub and Super WiFi 6E booster

[mmd040]

Hi All.

I plan on building a summer house but it's too far away from my Ultrahub to get a wifi signal.  Therefore, I plan on running a Cat6 cable to the building.  If I then plug in a WiFi 6E booster, will this give me a wifi signal in the garden house?  If not, what are the other options?

Cheers

You can't backhaul the boosters as far as I can see. I have Pro boosters and they only seem to offer to configure over Wi-Fi. They do have two LAN ports but only for onward connection.

If you've already got the equipment then it's worth trying.  There are other extenders that need that initial configuration over WiFi but can then be set up with a wired backhaul.

Looks like you're correct there.  That's a shame, as it would have life so much easier

I have done exactly this. I have a cat6 to my office in the bottom of my garden but my printer uses WiFi. I originally placed my Vodafone Super WiFi 6E Booster at the back of my house and I could get an intermittent WiFi connection in my office, but it worked most of the time for printing. Looking at the network ports on the back of the booster I thought it would be really useful if I could put the booster in my office and use the RJ45 port to connect tge boister to my office switch and then onward to the Vodafone router, allowing me to have a WiFi hotspot at the bottom of my garden. Couldn't find any info on the ports! Others said it can't be done! But I plugged it in and after a while it worked:-) the booster connected to the router over the cat6

Has this continued to work?

I ask as I have a cabin down the bottom of the garden connected to my main router via ethernet. I currently use a BT hub in the house and a BT disc on the end of that cable in the cabin which provides wifi down there perfectly fine (although its not officially supported by BT apparently)

Im soon to be at the end of my BT contract and they don't do FTTP to my house, but city fibre do and Vodafone is one of their providers and I'm thinking Vodafone's hub/boosters may be able to do the same as my current BT set up.
