All guides
Full install walkthroughs with specific gear picks, aiming and configuration steps, and honest tradeoffs. Each guide is matched to a specific scenario-and-solution combo — so you don't have to read the whole internet before you start digging.
Which guide is right for you?
The right install depends on three things: the distance between your buildings, whether you have line of sight, and what's already in the ground. Quick framework:
- Coax already running between the buildings? Use MoCA — 10-minute install, near-2.5 Gbps throughput. See the MoCA guide.
- 50–1,500 ft apart with clear line of sight? Point-to-point wireless is the default. Flagship house-to-barn guide.
- Under 328 ft and you can trench? Direct-burial Cat6 — rock solid and no radios. Buried ethernet solution page.
- Over 300 ft or future-proofing? Buried fiber. Fiber solution page.
Not sure which you are? Start at scenarios — pick the destination (barn, shed, ADU, etc.) and the site will route you to the right guide.
