@Sdaniel105 If an M5 in one building can reach an M5 in another buidling, you can setup one as the satellite of the other, and they will make a single mesh.

Deco units can link to each other via Wireless or Ethernet backhaul. As you know Wireless signals diminish the further they go. Walls, especially exterior walls, also reduce the strength. It is not recommended to use wireless backhaul as a result of this. However, ethernet segments can be up to 100 meters so that could be a viable option to connect the networks of the two buildings.

@yves_b they can, but both buildings are concrete and signal strength on the one in the 2nd bldg is weak. That is how I have it now. Trying to get stronger signal the 1st of 3 in the 2nd building.

The most effective solution would be to connect an Ethernet cable between the two buildings. If that is not feasible, you might consider using an additional Deco unit or a range extender.
Please ensure that any range extender you select is compatible with Deco systems, as not all models are. The exdender i linked below will work with your deco's.
