Anyone doing this? Anyone know anyone doing this? A LOT of people ask how they can improve their home Internet access and heard about this mesh wifi stuff. I don't use it, so know nothing about it. Anyone have any experience?

I kinda am. We Use Nest Wifi, but we have all 3 wifi points wired in. I tried mesh mode, and it worked, but it was noticeably slower (duh) due to the additional relay. Probably fast enough for phones, but wasn't fast/consistent enough for streaming 4k videos/etc to a TV, imho.
Other systems are slightly higher rated, but we have Google everything, and it's really easy to use.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Not using it. I have a Nighthawk X12?(whatever their top model is) and an extender at the top of the house.
I have looked into mesh systems, but they seem really expensive and I don't think the performance is there to justify it.

$2,300 for 3 HOME wifi units? JFC. $1,700 for 2? Stupid inflation

Look at MoCA or Ethernet over coax. If you have coax you don't use (from back in the cable TV days), it's a good way to get Ethernet through the house without having to run cables and is a better solution than mesh being that the routers would be hardwired.

The worst part is they roll out like TVs with new tech. Every quarter is something new.TheCatt wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 2:30 pm https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/rbe973sb/

The good part is that the constant products push down the price of the older ones pretty quickly.
