On my lot I have a 5200 sf house on a bluff, and a cabin 40 ft lower in elevation and 600 ft away through a heavily forested path. Would something like this work to get Wi-Fi to the cabin? I'm guessing no, but thought I would ask.

I bought a set a couple of months ago and returned it. I have 1Gbps service and was getting about 100Mbps or less at the furthest point in the house using this. Replaced it with the TpLink set from Costco (the Wifi6e 3 pack) and now I get about 600Mbps at the same location, both sets were tested using wireless backhaul.

Do you have a cat 5/6 ran out there? If not, this system would not even come close to getting you wifi out there. If you have a cable, Nest mesh with wired backhaul would take care of your issue.

If you have electricity from the house to the cabin, you might be able to use a system that utilizes that to send the signal. They perform well in homes.

My Deco M5 and X60 changed my life. No more dead spots, consistent speeds. I get a good signal anywhere on my property which is .75 acres. I always keep two hardwired and one wireless for upstairs. If you don't have a mesh or are using your cable providers router, you should definitely consider this. You can use the cable providers router and disable wireless on it then set these up as an access point. I am using my Deco x60 as my modem router so no provider router for me. I ramble but mesh is amazing if you get a decent one.
I much prefer my decos in my condo to my nighthawk system. Much more reliable, better speeds, and the distance is amazing. I'm able to transmit down two floors to my gf's unit with very little loss.

For anyone thinking of purchasing this, realize that there is a max device limit on this 3 year old system. I set this up for a friend who was trying to cheap out over going with a legit mesh system, and he has over 50 Lumary lights and as soon as we added them, the mesh system would absolutely crap all over itself. It would hold with his normal 25 or so devices. I even changed the SSID and made it so banks of Lumary lights would jump on it, and as soon as we hit 35, it was done.

I think this day in age, most homes will have at least 20 connections, but if you go much above that, you're done with this old tech.
Is there ant you recommend for 60+ devices?

It would most likely have to be fiber to get data across that distance. Cat5/6 is limited to 100 meters so about half their distance. I'm not very familiar with the ethernet over power adapters as mentioned by others, but I'd suspect that would still be a tall ask for that system from what I've seen with a few single structure tests.Maybe those are better now.

Running fiber down a bluff in such a way that it survives over time... that sounds like a heck of a project.

Wireless mesh fails a lot of this. The product is not that great and I wouldn't trust it refurbished if the product was rubbish to begin with.
Last month when T-Mobile was offering the $25/mo wireless internet service I wanted to try it out but not impact my current home network/Google Fiber setup. My wife works from home and I didn't want to incur her wrath if my testing affected her. So I thought I'd configure a parallel network and move things over a piece at a time. Anyway I had to place the T-Mobile router in a corner of the house distant from where the Google Fiber/Router was for the best 5g tower signal. There was no way I could connect the T-Mobile router to my network switch to service the hardwired devices so I bought this system from a fellow who was selling it on the cheap.I placed one of the satellites near my switch. Problem solved. To make a long story short I was surprised that the T-Mobile service was robust enough to replace the Google Fiber service and this Nighthawk mesh has been flawless. Sure it isn't the latest and greatest but I have near 30 devices connected via hardwire and wireless distributed through a 3 floor 3200sq ft. home and I haven't gotten yelled at once!

Are these like access points where speed drops to half of what it is directly to router?

No problemo! Good luck with it. I know it can be done one way or another. Sounds like a cool place. Here's the link to the type of product and one people have good luck with. You might need a more powerful one but I'd the electricity run from the house box to the cabin to supply power you can do it. https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Po...B0778Y6K6N
