Advice needed for absolute beginner, beaming Fibre connection from neighbour to my home and then redistributing through mesh
Hi there.
Hopefully you can make sense of my ramblings below. Full fibre finally came to my area under a government scheme (Northern Ireland). However, owing to a mistake on their side, several houses were left out, but now are deemed applicable for support - however this may be up to 2 years away, in spite of houses beside me acheiving gigabit speeds.
In spite of my pressuring the telecoms co, they're not budging and are restrained by the order they have been given.
I'm trying to think outside of the box here. My uncle lives around 300m away from me across a field and a few straggly trees. He has minimal interest in the faster speeds that this product offers. However, I was considering the following:
- Paying for a 300mb or 1gb connection for his home (which he will barely use)
- Finding some way to beam it back up the hill towards my house
- Then redistributing it within my home via mesh and/or ethernet
The big thing then might be my thinking of what I can then do when I receive the signal at my end. What could I then do with it in terms of sending it back around the house here? If there was a hiccup at his end (say his router needed reset), is there any way I could sort from my home?
As I said, complete beginner here. Would appreciate any help anyone could offer, or even pointing me in the right direction of a similar post, I genuinely don't have an idea of what to search for!
Hopefully the 2years is all the wait is. I'm trying to get another solution as my wife has started a new remote job that requires better speeds, and 4G broadband ain't cutting it!
Thanks
