Hello tech folks! This is perhaps a bit of an edge case for a residential setup, and maybe more along some commercial ones, but I am moving to a cabin in the woods. In these woods, there's a meadow of a few acres in which our cabin, a separate building that will be my wife's office, and a greenhouse are located. Due to the national forest networking, we have fantastic, symmetrical fiber optic internet service.

The "office" building is about 85 feet from the main cabin, just slightly above it, elevation wise. The greenhouse is about 125 feet away, and up maybe 40 feet in elevation.

I've twisted myself in knots trying to decide what outdoor unit to deploy at the main cabin. We already have a pole that currently has an old antenna, with coax coming off, doing nothing. I don't think it ever did anything down at the bottom of the valley it's in. I think that was a wishful thinking deployment by someone back in the day.

My thought, as a noob here, was something like a Ubiquiti U6 mesh with indoor APs in the indoor spaces. I'm running a Firewalla as a router, and would like to set up some VLANs.

Am I way off here thinking that a residential-type solution will work for me here? I just don't have the real world experience here to know if I'm researching the right path or not.
