Hi,
This a great site and I've read several articles, but am still unclear on how to proceed with what I'm trying to achieve, so any help would be greatly appreciated:
Situation:
Three level home with 4 Google mesh routers. Signal still spotty in some parts of the house.
Potential solution:
Plug in all 4 routers into ethernet ports in each room (we are getting our house remodeled and the electrician can pull wires into rooms where needed) BUT have them all be on one SSID and have devices jump from one AP to another depending on where the signal is the strongest. One thought I have is to place a switch after the modem (which is Arris SB6283) and have the four ports of the switch connect to four wall jacks in four different rooms. Then connect each of the Google pucks (NSL1304) to the wall jack in each room.
Questions:
1. Is this the best way to ensure a "single" wifi signal throughout the house?
2. If so, how would I go about configuring this?
3. What switch would you recommend?
4. I have a wifi printer that I'd like to be able to access from different parts of the house, that is the primary reason that I'd like a single SSID
5. Once configured, I'd like to add a NAS to backup data on a couple of iPhones and a macbook and a PC.
Thank you!
