Wifi guru's

Just got Star Link 2 weeks ago and shut off all my Direct TV boxes. I'm trying to see how far I can boost the Wifi signal on my property. I have a couple houses and some outbuilders I'd like to get the signal to. I have direct line of sight of all the units. Wondering if there's something I can use to reach them wireless. With Star Link you have to buy a service for each location with a dish.

Check out Ubiquiti products.  They have Point to Point that will cover 25+ KM.  You can use their design software at the bottom right under tools.  Actually lay out your network on your property.

Used this where I couldn’t get the WiFi transmitted from my house across the yard into my office, wireless didn’t seem to want to go through the patio doors or cement fiberboard siding. What I did have was power already run all the way across the yard though.
 

basically you put Ethernet right on top of your existing 110v circuit. So if you’ve got wires, you can push something like at least 75Mbps over it. Not incredible, but gets it done for many applications and super simple and cheap. Only seems to like the same circuit though, doesn’t like going through breaker panels. There are similar devices you can put across existing old coax and those ones go a lot faster.

What distances are you trying to xmit over?

Starlink has dongles you can purchase to run Ethernet to wherever you want. You can also purchase multiple routers and mesh them together (only if you have the rectangle or business dish). The routers are waterproof and have a better range when outside than inside but I’m not sure how far you’re trying to go. Hardwire is probably best for this application. (Ps I work at starlink)

I have one of these in my house and it goes from upstairs down to the other side of the house and downstairs, where I have another router/wifi point.  

It has worked pretty well over the last few years.  We are looking at a mesh system.
