UDR in a townhome (self.ubiquiti)

Does anyone know if I use a UDR(plan on getting one once it’s back in stock) in the 3 level town home how I can extend the signal to the top level. Unfortunately I’m stuck with using the connection to the modem in the bottom level and it’s been difficult to get reliable signal through the house. I was thinking if I have the UDR on the bottom level and use either the U6 extender or the U6 mesh via a moca connection(don’t have Ethernet run in the house but I do have coax). Thanks.

Depending on build material, it is generally not too difficult for signals to penetrate one level worth of ceiling/floor. You might be able to get away with a well positioned U6 mesh, or better yet, a full sized ceiling mount U6 AP on the second floor, directly above the UDR on the ground level., and let the back side of the ceiling mounted U6 AP provide signal for the top floor.

Alternatively, MoCA as you’ve identified is also a good idea to carry the signal anywhere else in the house where there’s a coax drop.

The ceiling mount would be great I just don’t have anyway to get PoE there. So I’ll maybe just put a mesh somewhere. Thanks for the help!
