    Best Omada APs for Gigabit ethernet network and sub-gigabit WAN

    Thanks guys. Yes, this is for my rented apartment. I've realised I can run flat cat 6 cables up the wall and along the ceiling for PoE APs. It's really the only way I can get wired APs - and I'm just not confident that wireless backhaul will work given my thick thick 14inch walls. Plan is...

    Dual WAN and mesh Wifi - what's the best way to increase internet bandwidth and wifi coverage?

    Thanks to @Tech9 for the super helpful description of Dual WAN. I called the copper wire company today - they directed me to their 5G service. After some pushing, they admitted there was a 6mb copper wire service - but then checked and clarified it was only available for their standard...

    Dual WAN and mesh Wifi - what's the best way to increase internet bandwidth and wifi coverage?

    I'm in Asia, smack bang in the middle of a big city. There's 10G FTTP in the building next door to me (which has hundreds of apartments) - but because I'm in a tiny apartment block (less than 10 apartments) none of the carriers have rolled out anything to my building in decades. I used to have...

    Dual WAN and mesh Wifi - what's the best way to increase internet bandwidth and wifi coverage?

    Nope - tested this today. So I won't be buying my extender and will need a new mesh network. Assume if I buy a canned mesh network then the mesh functions will work in AP mode (with the ER 605 doing the heavy lifting)? Thanks for this, you've saved me big bucks here! Assume no mesh wifi is...

    Dual WAN and mesh Wifi - what's the best way to increase internet bandwidth and wifi coverage?

    Thanks, this is a great idea. Much appreciated. Also a very good point. 2 of the 3 cameras are Apple HomeKit and the third is only going to be used above the crib for the first few months - so it's not ideal, but try convincing my wife otherwise... Let me call the one fixed line supplier in...

    Sorry for that. I'm trying, but I'm really in over my head (as you can probably tell). Thank you for your help so far. Really appreciate it. It seems that what I'm hoping to achieve is possible - just looking for any help and pointers the experienced members of this forum could share.

    Dual WAN and mesh Wifi - what's the best way to increase internet bandwidth and wifi coverage?

    Hi folks - thanks very much for the replies. Really appreciate it! A couple of follow up questions below if you have the time. For a little more background - I'd like to keep everything on the same wifi network if possible (using my Archer GX90 AX6600 wifi router + extender - or new mesh...

    Dual WAN and mesh Wifi - what's the best way to increase internet bandwidth and wifi coverage?

    I have problems with internet bandwidth and wifi. My main questions is: is it better to buy a dual WAN mesh network, or to buy a cheap dual WAN router and connect this to my preferred wifi solution? -Background- I live in a 60 year old 2000 sq ft apartment with THICK walls. There are also...
