Extending Mesh
I have a NetGear Nighthawk MR60 mesh wifi router with 2 satelites , it is performing quite well. I am now building a detached garage approximately 50 feet from my house. I alos have an EV and ...
Thank you CrimpOn. This seems like a good plan. The large metal garage door that faces the house goes up next week. At that point I will do the test with the satellite, but I am thinking to use one of my current units for the test.
Just fyi I do have a pipe from house to garage to carry electric. However the building inspector doesn't allow electric & Ethernet in same tube, it would cost ~$2k to place an additional tube.
Thanks again, LD

It is important that the WiFi signal between house and garage not pass through the metal garage door. Any WiFi signal (mesh WiFi, WiFi extender, wireless bridge, etc.) is affected by passing through metal. There are usually areas to the side of or above a garage door that might be suitable.

This is absolutely correct.
