I am just moving into a new home which is a standard UK 3 bed semi. However it also has an outbuilding around 5-8 metres from the main property. Wi-Fi doesn't reach to the outbuilding adequately.
There is already a cat6 from the main router (Virgin) located in the living room to the outbuilding, and can put a Ethernet Switch but this doesn't give me Wi-Fi in the outbuilding.
(I haven't done anything like this since discovering Powerline at my parents 15 years ago. Before mesh, or at least before I'd heard of it)
I was thinking just to put a Wi-Fi access point type thing in the outbuilding (connected by the ethernet) but I want a seamless network and not have the issues of switching where devices aren't picking up the correct signal
I obviously want to not have drop outs or areas competing for Wi-Fi between two access points, naming confusions etc. I just want it to be as seamless as possible if I move between them. I know old Powerline models was a nightmare when standing between them.
I need to work from the outbuilding so am willing to spend some money to make it all work as good as possible up to a few hundred maybe but I am just after the best solution overall. I don't want to rent pods from VM also seems silly given a ethernet is already in the outbuilding.
(Some research has told me a mesh network could work where I put a Deco X60 (or similar) in the outbuilding and connect it via ethernet - but would this solve the issue completely - do I need one in teh house instead of the hub too?!)
Can anyone please help me?
