[SOLVED] Mesh System for Hardwired House?

[bejita81]

Hello Guys,

My house has AT&T Fiber delivered to all main rooms in the house via Cat5E outlets through a main switch in the basement.

I am trying to add a Wifi Mesh system on top of this. I found out belatedly that the Google wifi system I bought does not allow me to hardwire connect the satellite pucks into the Cat5E system/switch (the same system the main router is connected too).

Are there any mesh systems that let me do this?

I essentially want to connect all the systems (main router and satellites) to the same switch via cat5e cable. I called google help and they said i could potentially just make 3 different wireless networks if i wanted. Which is kinda not what I wanted.

Thanks

Ubiquiti access points provide a single SSID and unified management interface. If you have a wired infrastructure, traditional access points are better than mesh. Mesh is mostly a marketing term for WIFI extenders.
Get quality APs that allow control of power levels. You don't want too much overlap between WIFI APs.
