    Which Wifi mesh to buy 'this year'

    I just bought the lower end TP-Link X20 wifi 6 setup and so far so good. I get speeds of 150 on the secondary routers, and I only have 200 on my internet in any case. I'm OK with it. Nothing drops, my daughters can stream music over UPnP in their part of the house now. It wasn't feasible...

    Problems with Zhone 2728A1 wifi

    Also, since I have coverage problems in my own big house, I decided to buy a mesh system today, the TP-Link X20 wifi 6 boxes. I was looking at MoCa and Deca and other solutions but at the end of the day just putting in a mesh system sounded easiest. It's not like I'm running a huge shop, just 4...

    Problems with Zhone 2728A1 wifi

    Nobody? I don't know anything about this company or the router. While the easy route would be to just buy a decent router and disable the wifi on this one, it seems like it should just work. Next time I'm up there I'll run the network analyzer on my Firestick and see what I get. I didn't...

    Problems with Zhone 2728A1 wifi

    My Mother-in-law had fiber run to her country house a few months back. They left her with a Zhone 2728A1 fiber modem/router. When I was up there this past week I checked the speeds and was only getting about 20/20 down/up when using the wifi, plus the wifi signal was pretty weak around the...

    3 Story house with plaster walls

    I decided which way to go with this and the answer is to do nothing! I went around the house with my iPhone and tested speed in all the corners on all floors and it is only very specific spots that have a problem. And you know what? My wife's corner "office" in our bedroom is one of them...

    3 Story house with plaster walls

    Sorry, the daisy chain question was for "real" MoCa, not the DECA hardware. I just read the documentation and probably not, the TV out jack filters out the ethernet frequencies and leaves just the TV. I would need another splitter. I want to put an access point on each floor, not just connect...

    3 Story house with plaster walls

    I checked the cable. One run, from the router to the outside, is Belden 9116 RG6, the rest up to the second floor is Belden 9104 RG59. From the second to third floor is PPC 3180662 RG6. I looked at the DECA adapters and they will only support 100mbps. They are cheap though and maybe as an...

    3 Story house with plaster walls

    Let me answer: Router is my own, a TP Link Archer C7 AC1750 Splitters are probably 10-15 years old No amp as far as I know, just straight cable. The cable runs outside the house and is visible. There is a splitter outside the house to run to the two separate boxes, but one box was returned to...

    3 Story house with plaster walls

    Callinc, thanks for the link to DongKnows. All the googling and that site never showed up. There is no Cat5 or 6 wiring in the house, at the point where we had more than one computer and something faster than DSL, we went straight to wifi. The house itself is from 1904. We do have a coax...

    3 Story house with plaster walls

    (Short Version): I'm looking for a plug and play wifi system that'll reach all corners of my old 3 story 4000sqft house without problems. (Long Version): I'm looking to get reliable wifi into all corners of my 3 story house. I currently have a TP Link Archer C7 as my router, with Optimum...
