Expanding P9 network to external barn

Model: Deco P9

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.1.3

I live in a 2,000 sqft house built in the early 1700's and have had some great success with three P9's. We have a barn (with power running from the house) about 60ft off of the house. It gets a little wifi, but will lose connectivity on the Peloton and i don't believe it could carry a SmartTV.

Could I just simply purchase another p9 or will I need a more complex set up?

Hi, sorry for the delay.

It would be better if we could run a test first:

Due to the distance, the powerline backhaul would be the best solution.

Since you already have 3-pack P9, maybe we could put one of them into the barn and relocate the other two units and check whether the 3^rd one could create a powerline backhaul first.

If it failed, we might need to consider the outdoor access points.

Thank you very much.
