QUOTE(hendry91 @ Aug 4 2020, 10:14 PM) But Mesh Wifi look so powerful nowadays, it can cover whole house actually. If you already doing renovation then better put cable. Also include cctv cable. If existing house then use mesh. I did my cabling about 7 years ago when mesh was lousy.I can't see why need a LAN if using mesh wifi, anyone?  |

Just need converter back to UTP point for the wall plug No doubt it can be done but at what cost and convenience. Also with new technology can already have up to 5 gbps over cat 6.Also I said I did this 7 years ago. All my cabling in run through pipes so deterioration is minimized.

If you run a cable between routers do you call it mesh? Do they have to be mesh routers? I just run a cat 6 from my WiFi router to another router as AP upstairs with the same ssid so my devices switch to the stronger signal. Is this considered mesh?

QUOTE(wailing81 @ Aug 6 2020, 09:23 AM) from what i read/ study online, router/ AP won't switch to stronger signal automatically. your device may only connected to the first router/ AP it found. My personal experience, my phone does switch to the stronger signal. Problem is when you in-between zone can become a bit unstable but for me the zone around the staircase so doesn't bother me.I am not sure about the switching part as i haven't try out. some i read had a wireless access control device which will control all AP and do the switching. not so sure about this yet. Using Asus as main router and tplink as AP. This post has been edited by jetblast: Aug 6 2020, 10:07 AM |
