    2019 Google Nest Router is impressive

    I wouldn't get hung up on whether we should still call it mesh. Wired is always better than wireless, and wired backhaul does wonders for "mesh" performance. I recommend that everyone use wired backhaul. My impression was that mesh buyers tended to be optimizers, more technical prosumer types...

    2019 Google Nest Router is impressive

    Where did these numbers come from? 8 Mbps is a typical average for 1080p. Netflix recommends at least 25 Mbps for a single 4K stream, and they're absolute masters of compression, incredibly talented. According to this test, The Mandalorian on Disney+ was peaking at 28 Mbps and averaging 16 Mbps...

    2019 Google Nest Router is impressive

    I don't understand what you mean. Wired backhaul is rather common with mesh systems. Netgear Orbi supports it. Plume supports it. eero supports it. I don't know what options most mesh buyers have, but MoCA would seem to give everyone the option.

    2019 Google Nest Router is impressive

    Agree about The Bell Curve, red pill, and reality-denial (I'm a social psychologist). But I'm stumped as to what you think Google is going to do to you, or what data you think they're collecting from a router they sell to people. Care to elaborate? I will say that the automatic security updates...

    2019 Google Nest Router is impressive

    Well, many of us have moved on to 4K HDR televisions and programming. I get 4K from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and even Vudu. Since there's more than one person in our home, we might have two or more 4K streams at once. Also, almost everything I do on the web is faster for having 1 Gbps...

    Negative. It's an AC2200 now.

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    By the way, how will we install the firmware? Is there a UI tied to an IP address?

    Fiber patch panels and switches

    We pay for, and get, full 1 Gbps service from AT&T, up and down. The way video streaming works is in bursts, followed by caching, so a nominal 30 Mbps is not the actual cap. 30 Mbps internet service would be incredibly slow for a modern user.

    goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapter

    I bought two of the goCoax adapters and the performance is fantastic. We have AT&T Fiber 1 Gbps service. Here's the network layout: Basic context: two bedroom condo The fiber drop is at the entertainment center nook in the living room. So the AT&T ONT is there, as well as their provided...

    Fiber patch panels and switches

    I'm not there yet since we live in a rental. I'm using MoCA to leverage the fiber – it's amazing. But I do want to play and experiment with fiber in the home soon.

    New NETGEAR Orbi Breaks $100 / Node Price Point

    Interestingly, the 3-pack wall plug system was on sale for only $170 yesterday. It's the one where you've got one regular base unit, and the two mesh units plug straight into outlets like the Plume: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072ZN4PSB/?tag=snbforums-20 I wouldn't pay $230 for an AC1200...

    Fiber patch panels and switches

    Thanks. As far as equipment moving around, what are we talking about? Desktop PCs and workstations? As far as speeds, I have gigabit fiber internet from AT&T. I'm seeing a surprising number of motherboards with 2.5GBASE-T NICs now, and 10 gig NICs are available – both 10GBASE-T and SFP+. There...

    10GbE network under $1,100?

    Definitely fiber. It's in a developing country so there's the opportunity to build out a network from scratch and leapfrog over DOCSIS cable networking, DSL, etc. I want six fibers going into every home and small business, three duplex pairs.

    10GbE network under $1,100?

    Yes, the whole thing, soup to nuts. I was assuming a bunch of 10GBASE-T ports, but I think I may have underestimated the potential of SFP+ ports in this application. I think four 10GbE ports would be fine, not including any ports feeding APs or other POE devices. Cameras will be fine with 1GbE...

    10GbE network under $1,100?

    Right, a 10 gig router would be pointless without 10 gig internet/WAN. We plan on 10 gig internet.
