Since I took some time and actually read the instructions for the "mesh" install and what sort of limits it has such as total coverage area or straight-line distance between the modules and the system I bought covers about 7500 sq ft (forget distances) so in testing I went out to the back edge of my yard and oh boy signal was still as strong as if I was under a node! I mounted the upstairs node so it is over top of my garage. Low and behold my signal in the garage is also great. That includes the drill press, lathe/mill and welder all running at same time! I never had that before.

If I had a detached garage and or workshop, I would buy a 4th unit just to be sure of 100% coverage. I did note the plastic cylinder is NOT water-proof or dust proof ETC. I would figure this works better than digging and burying a cat5/6 cable.

Now why did the old guy post all this, well I hope to provide a tad bit of help to those that are not super techy type and keep you from having on a neighbor or God forbit call the Geek Squad! Remember that the admin userid and password need to be unusual enough to prevent hacking and changed periodically, every 6 months of so.
