Any examples?

I made an update post, but I’m not getting 700+ right by the router.

I will probably go the PTP route, but in that instance are the XT9 overkill? I.E. why mesh if backhaul

Completely forgot about this, I have a set of TPLink AV2000. Garage is on a subpanel fed by the house but I just tested and they work out there.

Speedtest is only pulling 50/50 Mbps , but its as good or better than the XT9 signal out there.

For now this may be good enough. Testing in the house and I’m getting 350/300 connected to the XT9 after changing the cable. About the same(315/270) connected to the BGW320. Testing using speedtest site on Pixel7 and Framework PC(Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210)

Spouse voted for PTP over more AP’s in the main house.

Current thoughts -

XT9 is not getting a strong enough signal to the garage.

For time being I have a set of TPLink AV2000 Powerline adapters, Speedtest is only pulling 50/50 Mbps , which should be enough for office work in the garage.

Long term will probably try to improve with either an aerial Fiber run or a PTP Wireless setup(more likely).

I could keep the XT9’s(on sale at $350) for this setup, but is it(and any mesh setup) overpriced/a waste if I am using either wired or PTP for backhaul? If so what would make more sense device wise? I could just run the house of the ATT BGW320 Gateway and get a single AP for the garage, or get a matched set of routers.

If I go PTP I would need something that supported POE or would need to add a POE switch.

I’m testing with a Pixel 7 and and Framework PC(Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210) which both support higher speeds than I am seeing right next to the routers(~250-400 / 300). Is that just the reality of ‘top’ speeds vs actual? If so does it make sense to back down my ATT service(we do have multiple users and everything is wifi)?

Unfortunately not

Would like to avoid trenching and also ethernet in ground due to electrical risk

I don’t mind to get on a ladder but feels like a bridge too far. Could try a pre terminated cable and hope I get measurements right.
