    eero/amplifi mesh like alternative?

    I'm on vacation in Mexico so I may be slow to respond. These may be a good option if I can fully wire all points. i believe they can even be configured as a mesh. I have not determined if they have dual radios with one dedicated to the backhaul (like eero). But if i wire, these are probably...

    eero/amplifi mesh like alternative?

    That link is where I got the 802.11k/r/v info. They could be routers in AP only mode. Would you know of any wireless routers that support the protocols for a single SSID? Thanks!

    eero/amplifi mesh like alternative?

    So lets say I accept that I need to run some wires. What 3x3 APs support 802.11r and k. (v seems unnecessary for home use but I'll take it if it is available). Supposedly all the devices that would roam on my network support all 3 of those protocols. (All my apple devices do. do they actually...

    eero/amplifi mesh like alternative?

    I just learned something about Amplifi. I assumed it was more like eero with two radios per AP (Amplifi calls them mesh points). But the mesh points are single radio repeaters. So, your best case rate is roughly half your signal strength when connected to a mesh point (like any other repeater on...

    eero/amplifi mesh like alternative?

    I ran wiring as an intern many many many years ago (hence why I don't want to do it. I think I developed an allergy to it ;). I wouldn't use cat 5e today myself. Cat 6, possibly. The reason is it's not entirely out of the question for me to have 10Gigabit equipment in my home (I don't...

    eero/amplifi mesh like alternative?

    I just replaced the comcast supplied 3939B cable modem with the surfboard SB6190 (not sure if moca can happen, I saw the option on the 3939B). It is comcast business class and they wired it directly into my office. It is not throughout the house unfortunately. That is a neat idea though. We have...

    eero/amplifi mesh like alternative?

    I am looking to get faster speeds throughout my house. Reliability/No hassle is more important than raw performance. Requirements: Since several of my devices are 3x3 mimo 1300Mbps, I would like the entire network to be capable of at least that. Seemless roaming. No switching SSID's, turning...
