I have something similar to a small cabin, build with unifi in mesh mode. Works just fine, but i only need connectivity, not much more but one video stream is possible.
Depends very much on the repeater and on what you gonna do in the office. Stay away from one-radio repeaters. You get better bandwith and stability with :
A) an outdoor ap in wifi client mode. You run a cable from that to a switch in the office and cables from there to pc, printers etc. That's how I connected a remote ip camera. Works flawless.
B) multi radio repeater (one radio talks to the router, the other radio is an ap on another chanel)
C) two one-radio ap's with utp between them and the same as above under B
I appreciate your answer but I'm not that good with tech or computers so I don't know how to do any of what you suggested. I was thinking it's as easy as putting an extender box and that's it.
In that case, select a few that looks interesting to you. Read & compare tests but above all user reviews. (Positive, review ... well yeah, you expect it to work. I usually find the low reviews more telling than the positives. What one sees as negative might not be relevant for me or may be critical.)
Yeah that's what I do too usually, just read the critical reviews. Thanks.
