TP-Link Deco M5 Mesh WiFi Extender
To enable the many devices we have around the kitchen to have a strong wifi signal, the kitchen has its own dedicated Deco wifi extender connected to a wifi mesh.
This enables fast communication around the house and ensures a strong internet signal via wifi that is distributed across the wifi mesh to certain locations in the house.

I have tasmota smart plugs connected to:

They are used for remote (power) control of the connected devices as well as providing energy monitoring statistics imported into Home Assistant.
