    Which two AiMesh systems?

    I tried one (rtax86s) and it got about 80% of my house. Picked up a second one (rtax86s) and everything is great. Coverage is great and all my devices connect. Very satisfied. The rtax86s were $169 apiece.

    RJ45-inline coupler Recommendation

    Pardon my lack of cable signal knowledge ... what makes a punch down press connector better than an inline connector? I am just connecting the 2 cables (existing & new) together for a longer cable run along a floor joist. A simple 1000gbps switch (nearby electric outlet) could be cheaper then...

    Which two AiMesh systems?

    House is 2 story plus basement. The rtax86u is $85 more and I don't think I would ever need the 2.5 port. Although it has a faster processor. Thought the ax86s would be better deal. The site Dong knows tech really likes the ax92u.

    Which two AiMesh systems?

    A) use 2 rt-ax86s routers or B) 1 rt-ax86s & pair of rt-ax92u The price difference is $50 not a big deal. My house is 3000sqf, have about 40 or so devices. Many are smart plugs/bulbs/thermostat/etc on 2.4ghz. Tablets, phones, laptop, rokus use 5ghz and are wifi 4 & 5ghz. I new laptop with...
