Pearcedale: the five-acre job was a network

Completed work on a five-acre property. Starlink at the house, then Wi-Fi that actually reached the shed and workshop.
Diagram: internet, router cabinet, house Wi-Fi, building links and cameras.
Internet comes into one building. From there: the router cabinet, house Wi-Fi, a wireless link to other buildings, and cameras.

One dish, three buildings

Starlink went on the house. The real work was getting the internet to the shed and workshop, which house Wi-Fi couldn't reach. We used wireless links with power at both ends, and left room to add cameras later.

Stage it if you need to

Dish first, house Wi-Fi second, and the shed when you're ready.
