    Hey. Our house is old. And big enough that our WiFi from our UPC modem can't reach the back of the house (4 bedroom, 150 sq/m) with some thick walls (either solid, or filled studs).

    Until now, we've got by with a power line adaptor set-up with a wireless access point covering the blackspot. It hasn't been perfect, but a cheap solution.

    Now this has stopped working. It might be the wiring.

    So I'm thinking a wireless mesh system would be a good solution.

    I'm looking for something good and not too expensive. I've read around. I'm looking at the TP-Link Deco M5.

    Looking for advice, and alternative solutions welcome (I'm outta work again).
