mesh network

Hi everybody, I'm just looking for a bit of advice for a first time wifi mesh setup. Currently with virgin media on the hub 3.0 and the router is sat on the other side of the house. It's not practical to run an ethernet cable all around the house to different devices. I've tried a range...

I recently switched from Mediacom to AT&T Fiber, and I'm looking for an extender to fill in a dead zone causing constent drop-offs in a corner of my home by creating a meshed network. When I was with Mediacom, we were given two Eeros—Pro 6s or Pro 6Es (I'm not sure which)—that did a fantastic...

Hey everyone! I am working on trying to set up a mesh network for a buddy of mine who has both a concrete house and concrete detached garage. I got a TP link EAP 225 outdoor unit which is getting signal to the detached but not reliably. So we got a second outdoor unit in hopes to mesh the...

Hi, I need to make sure my parents get wifi in their house. It's ~300m2 (3 floors), brick walls. Currently they use a modem/router from the ISP (https://www.upc.ch/dam/www-upc-ch/business/pdf/Support1/b2b-ConnectBox_Manual_EN.PDF) (ground floor) and Linksys WAG54GS first floor (it's using a...

I am trying to determine the best way to extend the reach of my wifi! Got a 5000sq ft home with a wireless router located centrally - now putting some wifi connected cameras on the outside of the home. Unfortunately, while my wifi reaches well inside, it's can't quite reach some of my further...

Hi there! I'm hoping you folks can help me out with a connection issue I've been having since installing a new WiFi extender a couple of weeks ago. I have a new Netgear extender (EX7700/AC2200 - this one) creating a meshed network with my existing Vodaphone router. The new setup is causing...

I used to have Google Home’s Wifi mesh system but I recently switched to Orbi. Orbi mesh points don‘t have ethernet ports and I was wondering if I could use Orbi and Google Home mesh systems at once. (I have Verizon FIOS 300mbps wifi, if you’re wondering)

I purchased a Netgear MK60 Mesh WiFi 6 router/satellite and have had nothing but problems. (Constant disconnects of all wireless devices.) In reading the Netgear boards, it seems to be a common problem. Mu case has been escalated, but this has been going on for over a month with no resolution...

I need a mesh wifi for my home (by mesh I mean all nodes having the same ap and password-so that I do not have to connect using a different password as in the case of range extenders). I currently have Linksys WRT 1900ACS. So do I buy individual velop nodes and connect them to my existing...

Hello Helpful People of Tom's Hardware, I am looking at two mesh wifi systems and wanted other people's opinions about them. Google Wifi vs Linksys Velop Ac4600. I know the Google wifi is only a 3 node dual-band wireless ac system. The Google Wifi is only SU-Mimo and wave 2 ac wifi standard...

Say I had the Nest router or any other mesh setup and had it all be set up wirelessly. If I had an ethernet connection to one of the secondary routers, would it be slower than if I was connected to the main router or the modem directly?

I recently bought a new WIFI 6 enabled router (Nighthawk AX8) because I dont often buy or consider new routers and wanted to set myself up for the future and replace my current 2012 Netgear router. Since most of my devices other than our new Iphones cannot utilize the new standard, I want to buy...

Can existing multiple routers be converted into a mesh network? I have a 3-floor building where the ethernet wire runs on each room of every floor. All wires are connected to a switch which is then connected to the main router. I don't face any problem when surfing the internet, as I am getting...

Hi people, My old d-link 150n is beginning to give up on me, so I'm shopping for a replacement. First a sales rep told me that I need to switch to Mesh as it was the future. Then I asked a friend who works in IT (software, not hardware) and he was dead against it, although he tends to have...

Recently I change to Spectrum ISP which offers a 200 Mbps down service, and while connecting via Ethernet to the modem, it actually delivers 200+ Mbps down. Then, I went and bought a Linksys EA7300 Dual-Band WiFi Router for Home, but the Linksys router seem to deliver a weak signal. My home...

I have a generic D-link router that my cable company gave when I signed up for their internet. I have about 9-10 devices connected to my router at the same time consistently. But lately I have been noticing a big drop down in speed. I have 100mbps but only really get about 30mbps. Also, have a...

A couple of years ago I upgraded to 300 Mbps and with it I got a three-pack google wifi mesh system. At the time the connection was enough for my house and I didn't have any problems. Recently I have needed a lot more bandwidth and upgraded to my ISP's 1000 Mbps plan. After I upgraded I started...
