    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    well, I checked again getting 4MBPS in bedroom on 2nd floor. If I go 5 ft into the hall I get 70MBPS. It seems I am getting shadowing of the signal by walls. On the 1st floor, farthest from the router (30ft and a wall) I get 96MBPS. I think a single wifi router wont cut it. I will try a...

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    Well, I went ahead and bout the R8000 and have been using it for awhile. I find I still have coverage issues. We have 150MBPS service and in the same room the Wifi gives 120+. In the upstairs Master bedroom I am seeing 2MBPS. This doesn't do it for me so, I may replace it with Google Wifi...

    Google Wifi Questions

    So, what kind of Wifi speeds can Google Wifi support??

    What ISP internet speed do you have and why?

    I ended up upgrading to 150MBPS service this summer with Comcast. It's probably overkill so the jury is still out. I do mostly web surfing, streaming music, and occasionally Netflix or movie streaming. I'm definitely not a power user. I was curious what other folks do??

    set up an Apple AE as an AP?

    I just replaced my Apple AirPort Extreme with a new R8000 router. It seems an upgrade. Now what to do with the old AE router? Is there a way I can utilize it as an Wifi AP or Wifi extender?

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    Well, I used Wifi Analyzer app to check channel traffic and it looks fairly clean. Most of the neighbors are on different bands and little band conflict. If I go with a mesh system, don't I have the same problem of wifi range? In other words, the satellite unit has to connect with the router...

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    Hmm I haven't checked for wireless channel usage. I'll have to get a Wifi Analyzer app. What app do folks like for their iPhones?

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    Thanks. I'll try and get a house drawing together. The router and cable modem are on the 1st floor, fairly centrally located. We just bought the house and moved in 2 years ago. There is no ethernet cabling installed in the house. We have for Wifi clients: 2 Nest thermostats 1 MAC 1 smart...

    need good coverage ... mesh or R8000?

    Hi, I have a 2 story house, 2300sqft. I've been using an Apple AE for years. It has been quite stable but, coverage upstairs in bedrooms isn't great. I recently upgraded to 150MBPS Comcast and got a new modem, SB6190. I am getting ~170MPS in a wired connection which is great. Now, I want...
