My wife would like to use her she-shed as a home office for her new remote job, but it does not have any internet service. I am far from a networking expert, but I am considering running an ethernet cable from the switch in the house through the attic and out to the she-shed. It would be a Cat6 (or Cat7?) direct burial cable with a total run of 164 lineal feet (50M). It would connect to a second router in the she-shed. My questions are:
Is this setup superior to a point-to-point wireless bridge?
Can I daisy chain two routers without impacting performance?
Do I need to replace the router in the house to something more complex?
Any recommendations for Router #2 (I haven’t purchased it yet)?
What settings/modes are required for Router #1 and #2?
ISP: FIOS 1 gig Internet ---> modem ---> Router #1: TP-Link AC1900 (4 ports out) ---> Switch: TP-Link TL-SG1008D (8 ports) --- Direct Burial Ethernet Cable (164 LF) ---> Router #2 (TBD)
Please forgive any dumb questions, and thank you in advance for your guidance and expertise.
