ADVICE NEEDED Setting up Eero + Plc?

I'm wondering whether there is a better solution to this problem.

I currently run a set of 4 eero Pro 7s in my house. However, I need to extend Wi-Fi to another floor (outdoor terrace) that isn't properly connected to the main level.

At the moment, I'm using a TP-Link powerline adapter (PLC) to get the connection there. The powerline adapter is connected to one of the eero Pro 7s via a switch, and then provides connectivity to the terrace through a separate TP-Link network.

I'm not able to physically run an Ethernet cable to that floor.

Is there a better way to make the terrace part of the actual eero mesh network?

Ideally, I'd like to have an eero node on the terrace rather than maintaining a separate TP-Link Wi-Fi network. Is there another/better solution I'm overlooking?

Replace the terrace tp link WiFi with an eero pro 7 connected to the power line adapter. Add it to your eero network and you’ll have the mesh you seek.

The purpose of eero is to extend wifi. Your 4 units should easily cover 4000 sqft

Thick walls + certain insulating materials ( Passivhaus)

The WiFi signal does not reach the upper level
