Extend to granny flat
Hi everyone, my son has moved into a granny flat. The router is situated at the front of the main house. He requires wifi to the granny flat approx 20 m always. Can somebody please suggest is I should use the mesh or extender ? Or can I use both. I have very little understanding even after watching the videos
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Re: Extend to granny flat
I'd recommend burying a wire.
Problem with it isn't just distance, its obstruction.
exteriors of homes tend to have the materials that block wifi the best. Like metal, adobe, brick/concrete, foil lined insulation, etc.
a mesh system might help but the problem is if you can't pick up a signal in the flat, neither will the extender/satellite.
