Outdoor access point
I am looking to provide better wifi on my deck. I have a wired network from a ATT Remote Gateway (1 Gig) to a Netgear unmanaged switch. I have CAT 6 to an LG TV, Netgear WAX 620 and a couple of jacks...

Alternate to an expensive power installation with GFCI, connector boxes and space for huge power bricks, consider a PoE+ or PoE++ wireless access point on a CAT6 or better cabling.
Cumbersome is that enclosures for wireless AP are not inexpensive.
Why not look for an outdoor rated POE powered access point like the WAX610y?
Thank you. This is what I was looking for. it will be under the eves but still exposed. I will check into this one.
