Story Which Deco to choose-Powerline Mesh
Background Details:
Some info about my house:
I have a 2-story house with an attic.
There are brick walls and concrete ceilings.
I have a little Terras about 20 meters from my house.
I think of combining a node to put on the closet downstairs and an X50-POE for the first floor to put on the ceiling.
The node downstairs I can easily connect to a router.
For the X50-POE I can easily add an UTP cable through my ceiling from the first floor to my attic to connect to my router.
My Questions are:
- Which node do I choose to put downstairs?
- Can I connect the node from downstairs to my router and also the X50-POE to my router? Or can only one node be connected to my router to make the mesh network?
