Adding a WiFi Access Point or Mesh
In many situations, employing a mesh system proves to be the most straightforward method for expanding WiFi coverage to additional rooms or buildings. A mesh setup enables seamless movement between its units and is generally simple to configure.
Recommended mesh units are:
- TP-Link Deco S7
- TP-Link Deco X20
A more intricate alternative to mesh systems involves integrating a “Wireless Access Point.” Unless you possess some networking expertise, I would recommend opting for a mesh system. Nevertheless, certain Access Points, such as the Grandstream GWN7602, are relatively easy to set up.

Either way you will need Starlink Ethernet Adapter ($65). (Only required for the rectangular dishes, purchase from Starlink or Noel Leeming)
