I am too.. that is why most (non-living)things get a ring of Round-Up around so no trimming required.

MN500 is an antique!   ;D

We chuck them in the trash.  Not even worth scrap.

smike, I have this:  https://www.amazon.com/R7000-100PAS-Nighthawk-Parental-Controls-Compatible/dp/B00F0DD0I6/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=netgear+R7000&qid=1558106004&s=gateway&sr=8-2

Yours for $75.  Works fine. No longer using it because I have a mesh network in my house.   I think a mesh network actually is a better option for you - might have enough power to transmit signal to the barn with mesh APs, depending on distance. between the two APs

I have this, and would recommend it for anyone looking at mesh wifi:  https://www.bestbuy.com/site/linksys-velop-tri-band-mesh-wifi-system-1-node-2-plug-in-3-pack/6292290.p?skuId=6292290

So you'll need a 100A/2P and 60A/2P circuit breaker that fit into your existing 150A panel.

100A feeder 3-#2, 1-#8EG Copper or 3-#1/0, 1-#6EG Aluminum

60A feeder copper: 3-#6, 1-#10EG CU or 3-#4, 1-#8EG AL


2-2-2-4 AL no good for 100A?  thats kinda what Amazon suggests is...?   175' of 2-2-2-4 AL direct bury for 221$ and that would do all i need for the 100 and 60 amp subs. 

need to identify breaker type in current barn panel.  otherwise have a good cart going for all materials to upgrade house and add 2 subs to barn panel.

about to order materials.  still need to figure out wire but:

small garage pannel

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOAVTIA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

will this 60amp breaker work as a main and fit this pannel?  i cant seem to find a pannel with a 50 or 60 amp main in it....

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002N7N1/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

current cart is about 1300$ and 32items.  amazon for life!

np.  i ordered all materials except the wire.

need to just verify 2224 AL is OK for 100amp.  i think i will never be near using 100amp and it will never need to be made bigger.  most of it will be used for bury under ground to feed the 60 amp in the garage.

Yes, 2-2-2-4 quadruplex AL URD is rated for 155A when direct buried.  Rating of wire depends on the insulation, configuration, routing, etc...
