You also have Starlink if you are too rural to get traditional
broadband service. Starlink sends you the satellite dish and the wifi
router. Also see <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmgwkKgZaGk>.

Amazon is getting ready to launch satellites for Project Kuiper, which
will compete with Starlink.

This is probably a mistake. You want "home runs" back to the router or
modem. Since you only need two wireless base stations, take the time
to pull the drops for ethernet backhauls. Or hire someone to do it.
(Your on-prem cable service is most likely already pulled this way).

If you use wireless backhauls, then that robs you of bandwidth for
device data since it is being used for the backhaul.

And one other comment based on my experience... don't use the service
providers wifi modem. Disable the wifi in the service provider's modem
or router, and use two base stations that you purchase. The base
stations that you purchase will perform much better, and give you
better coverage on your site.
