Hi all,
I'll shortly be moving into a new house (UK 5x bed new build). The house builder has been completely unable or unwilling to make any M&E adjustments (which is another topic in itself...) but I need to start thinking about a good networking solution.
Coming with the house will just be a single FTTH connection into a ONT on the ground floor.
On the same level I'll have a smart TV and the usual IOT devices. Upstairs will be 2x work computers, 1x gaming computer and more IOT devices.
There's also a garage built on to the side of the house that I'd like to get at least basic WiFi.
In my current house I'm running a RT-AX82U plugged into the ONT with a powerline adapter providing Ethernet to upstairs for the gaming PC.
The new house will be significantly bigger so I suspect I'll need some sort of mesh/repeater upstairs for WiFi.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a WiFi/mesh system compatible with the AX82U?
Also, short of installing Ethernet cable myself which is probably outside of my capability, is just flooding my house with WiFi the best solution?
Cheers,
Owen
