Yeah you can use the MPs in a local wifi mode, but the problem is you will reduce your throughput as the device will have to share its wifi capabilitys between the mesh and the local systems. My suggestion would be you connect a 2nd AP to the Mesh Potato. The 2nd AP can then serve your local site.

I will be installing several MPs to setup VOIP system in an estate soon and would love it if laptops will be able to get internet too through the meshes.
thanks

You should look into Ubiquiti’s offerings, over those distances you could be achieving 100mbit easily :)
