I've got a couple of Deco M4 as a mesh in my flat.
I want to have WiFi in the garage. Borrowed a friend's powerline extender to check if it worked - seemed fine.
I'm thinking of getting some Deco M9 to add to the mesh, with one as the main node and the other M9 in the garage.
As far as I can tell this should work well and I'll also end up with more decos inside the house, improving the mesh coverage further.
However, a more traditional powerline extension kit is considerably cheaper. But it has the downside of creating a different network name in the garage.
Am I missing anything here? Seems like a trade-off between having one continuous mesh network against saving money.
