Sounds a sensible solution.

The only point I’d make is as it’s a not a mesh system you might find that mobile device have issues moving between the two wifi networks, I’d suggest giving them different names to be clear on which one you attach to, or buy a mesh system that allows a wired interconnect, tp offer a number of these.

Agree with the above, a good Mesh will seamlessly allow you to roam between nodes, nothing worse than a phone trying to cling onto a signal in the loft when you’re down in the garden.

Look at the TP Link P9, WiFi, powerline, backhaul and a 3 year warranty. It’s all I fit and I can remotely manage them off my phone.
