Hey,
I am looking into upgrading Wifi in my home that's about 250 m^2 across 2 floors with a lot of walls. Right now I have 3 different SSIDs all around house which is not ideal because devices have to frequently connect and disconnect and there are still a lot of dead zones and it often drops even with half the bars.
I thought about getting repeaters for the Archer C6 and create their OneMesh network but if I understand correctly they don't support wired backhaul, only over wifi that means the all have to be close to one another so the speed doesn't deteriorate.
What are your suggestions? I heard only good things about Ubiquiti (my friend has Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-LITE and the signal is strong) but I don't really understand all their different products and everything you need to set it up. Also they need PoE so that would make the upgrade even more expensive.
PS: One quick question for now: can I disable DHCP server on the ISP router and have it only on Archer C6 without problems even if it creates it't own wifi? Devices connected to it should get their IP from Archer right?
