Looks like I'll need to concentrate on extendning the 5Ghz range, better get my wallet open again!

Seems that 2.4Ghz is available if you buy the right device - https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/guides/kb-mesh-bands

I've ordered a couple of ANT-2520 antennas, I'll see if that works!

Antennas didn't help still can't get the signal through the building wall, looks like armoured CAT6 will be the solution!

I feared that might be the case, sorry you had to find out the expensive way

Total project cost was approx £550K so £40 for antennas won't make much difference!
