**📡 Project Overview: Starlink + Route10 + AP6 Mesh for Long-Range Coverage**

Just wrapped up a fun and challenging install for a long floorplan home with some unique coverage needs. Here’s the setup:

### 🧰 Equipment List:

- **Starlink** (primary internet source)
- **Route10** (router)
- **S8-POE** (PoE switch)
- **2x AP6-PRO** (indoor access points)
- **3x AP6-PRO Outdoor** (outdoor access points)

### 🏠 Site Layout:

- The house has two wings separated by a large vaulted living/dining/kitchen area.
- A **workshop** sits about **300 ft to the south**.
- A **river** lies about **300 ft to the north**.

### 📶 Deployment Strategy:

- **Two AP6-PROs** cover the interior of the house. Due to the builder not provisioning a cable path between wings, one AP is **meshed**.
- **One AP6-PRO Outdoor** is mounted on the **front eave** , and another on the **rear eave** , providing strong coverage all the way to the **river**.
- The **third AP6-PRO Outdoor** is mounted on the **workshop** , extending the network 300 ft south.

### 🚶‍♂️ Real-World Performance:

I tested the setup by starting **4K video streams** on my laptop, my phone, the homeowner’s phone, then we walked from the **workshop** , through the **house** , and down to the **river** — **not a single buffer**. Seamless handoff and rock-solid performance throughout.
