The M1 has an ethernet port. you can connect a router to it and either put the M1 in passthrough mode or put the router in access point mode.&nbsp;

Concrete walls make it a challenge. A mesh system can work but because the walls block the communication between router/satellites, it can still be problematic.
A lot of people resort to a special tool. (a drill).&nbsp;
the best way to fix concrete walls is to run ethenet between the rooms and hardwire in the access points.
If you can't do that, some use powerline or moca adapters.&nbsp;
