Expanding my network coverage at home

2 weeks ago

Model: Deco P9

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi all,

I need some advice from all of the professional here.

The garage of my house is locating behind my backyard which is quite far away, I am using Mesh Router at home but the signal cannot be covered most of my backyard area, not to say the garage and the driveway area.

So when I am seeing the Deco P9 Powerline Mesh, I am thinking whether it can fix my problem. My idea is plug in one of the nodes in my garage (which is sharing the same breaker of the sockets at home) to extend the coverage to my garage, but this may still not enough as I am not really sure how much coverage can a Powerline Mesh node will be. So my further idea is whether I should add on another Access Point (e.g. EAP225-Outdoor) which fix on the outside wall of my garage which can even extend the cover up to my backyard as well.

May all the profession here give a bit advice to me whether my both ideas work (at least from technical standpoint). And whether my second idea can really further extend the coverage.

FYI. My backyard is around 6x9m, and my driveway is right behind my backyard.

Thanks!

Hi, welcome to the community.

Have you used any powerline adapters before that might help to predict the powerline backhaul performance of Deco P9 or Deco PX50?

Do you plan to have a 2-pack Deco P9 kit, one in the main house, the other in the garage; then connect the EAP225-outdoor via an Ethernet cable to the garage Deco P9?

- If that is the case, Deco X50-outdoor will be better than the EAP225-outdoor and you could also consider updating the Deco P9 to PX50 since it also supports WiFi 6 like X50-Outdoor.

Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP hi, thanks for your response and advice.

I did not start anything yet as I am still using a set of normal mesh routers which was bought around 10 years ago in the house so that my backyard and garage and driveway is not having and network coverage.

My very first question is whether the idea of linking a further access point from the powerline adaptor planning to be plugged into the garage socket is workable for extending the coverage or not.

If yes, then the other consideration is which set of powerline mesh router and outdoor accesspoint I should use. Your suggestion of using PX50 and X50 outdoor accesspoint is also good but the reason I choose EAP225 is that the official info shows that it can extend the coverage up to 200M+ but X50 is only talking about 230 sq m (or around 8 metre straight line coverage if putting a circle for the 230 sq m??) which is much smaller coverage? Or is there any accesspoint similar to EAP225 but can have Wifi 6 in the market?

Sorry for so many questions but really dont want to buy all the stuffs back but not working as expected.

Eric
