Hi all,

so, in the man cave I don't get wifi - well, I get it off the laptop but not phone or apple TV. Now, I got apple TV to run zwift (cycling simulator) without having to take my laptop etc out there and set it all up. So it's as close to turn on and go as possible.

So, I do want wifi out there, just a case of what route to take.

so the query is - Mesh such as BT discs. Or a normal powerline system with wifi

If I went Mesh, I'd need one at the hub - then the next would be circa 8m from the hub, which would be the room adjoined to the garage - the garage is connected to the house so if you imagine having the hub in the hall of a house, I need to go through the kitchen, a reception room and the garage is to the side of that reception room.

yeah it's what attracts me to BT too,

you can have the hub with built in mesh node. Mine doesn't but their pod will just connect to it anyway.

I don't think i'd need the premium but am tempted by the two disc normal option
