PS: Adding a 4th soon so I have WiFi down at my gate for a wireless IP camera. It will hook to the Garage access point router and be a wired connection 100 feet away from the garage. Then it can WiFi the rest of the way to the gate. I hope! It's a long way. To far for a Ethernet cable.
This is foreign to me as I live where a long driveway is maybe 50'. :) But Cat 5,6,7 all have a 100M range 330 ft. Is the gate further away from the garage than that?
Personally I dislike WIFI for a variety or reasons so I try to go hard wire wherever I can. If you're talking about running cat 7 to a place 100 ft away from the garage (call that place driveway 1) and then going wireless from driveway 1 to the gate; Can you instead go CAT 7 from driveway 1 to the gate cam and just run a simple $20 DLink switch at driveway 1 as a signal booster?
