Just a quick update on this..... I cancelled my order for the Whole Home WiFi as I had read that I could use my Devolo Powerline 1200+ WiFi AC kit in similar fashion.... I was a bit concerned that a powerline wouldn't work in the bedroom because it's on a different circuit... so tested the one from the first floor in the 2nd floor bedroom (as suggested by someone one here... thanks) and it worked! So I bought an extra powerline adapter for the bedroom and now have a really decent connection throughout the house... granted, the speeds in the bedroom aren't great in comparison to the rest of the house but it works fine for what we need... it would be nice to see if I could get better speeds in the bedroom but I think that is limited by the circuit...
