P9 powerline backhaul

Hello all. I have the Deco M9 Plus setup in my house with the main deco as a router and the others as satellites. This setup has been good for me and I get good wifi access all over the house. However, I have an out-building at the back of my garden which I would like to have wifi, at present I only get a weak signal up to the entrance of the out-building and once inside it disappears as the signal cant penetrate the brick wall. I cant setup other satellites in between and get signal that way, as there's an open garden which is 12 meters from the house to the out-building. Therefore Im considering getting two P9's, one in the house and the other in the outbuilding to carry the signal across the electrical circuit.
The question I have is, If I setup up the P9's as satellites to the M9 would the powerline backhaul work between the two P9 decos?
e.g. - Internet - Main Deco(M9-router-House) - Satellite 1(P9-House) - Satellite 2(P9-Out-Building)
Thanks
Hi, TP-Link Support:
You may wish to ask someone on TP-Link team to update P9 Web page that explains how different Deco units work together.
When you open https://www.tp-link.com/ca/home-networking/deco/deco-p9/ and scroll all the way down to "All Decos Work Together" and select "Deco P9 as Satellite" there is no powerline backhaul between two Satellite P9.
Yet, when you check same picture for P7 at https://www.tp-link.com/ca/home-networking/deco/deco-p7/ there is powerline backhaul between two Satellite P7.
It is obvious from your reply that P7 picture is correct and P9 picture is not, so please have someone get it fixed. I think it were like this for a while.
