Extending Mesh

now building a detached garage approximately 50 feet from my house

Does the garage have an electrical water connection to the house?  (thinking that construction of a new structure would be an ideal time to bury a 1" PVC conduit to allow installation of a network cable.)

The generally accepted methods of extending service to a building are:

• If within 300 ft. installing an Ethernet cable is the optimal solution.  Best performance.  Least complexity.  Often impractical.
• If there is an electrical connection between the main building the new building, Powerline can often provide a good connection.
• A "wireless" bridge will often provide adequate service.  Since these units are rated in terms of Kilometers, over a short distance they can often penetrate both the main and remote building walls and still get good performance.

The biggest question is

• Do you want WiFi in the garage that is networked to the primary network, or
• Do you want to extend the seamless mesh WiFi system to the garage?  In that case, only another MS60 satellite will do what you want.

I would start by purchasing an MS60 satellite from Amazon.  If it will connect with the main house, "problem solved".  If not, return it to Amazon and confront the issue of what performance is necessary.  For example, a WiFi extender will connect to the primary WiFi network over 2.4G at a greater distance than an MS60 satellite with 5G WiFi.  If the primary goal is to connect the Chargepoint to the network, that might do it.  WiFi extenders are relatively inexpensive.
