I’m a home networking newbie and would appreciate any advice folks have. I got my house wired for ethernet, but have some areas I was hoping to improve the wifi for my mobile devices with a wired backhaul setup.
I tried looking through the posts here and it seems like most folks don’t recommend going with the mesh systems as it’s paying a premium for a wireless backhaul that I wouldn’t be using. It also sounds like I shouldn’t use any random access points as handoffs between them may not work efficiently. That said, what devices do folks recommend? I saw ubiquity come up a couple times, but wasn’t sure if there were cheaper and/or better options?
No, don’t go mesh, especially when you have a choice or a chance to change it. Mesh can work in many circumstances but it’s like the #3 option are far as performance and reliability goes. An there aren’t many more options than3 or 4.
