lookout:
Thanks hio77. I've ordered a Smart Mesh unit. I'll test and if it works well I'll probably sell my AC Lite.
Any advantage to keeping it connected by ethernet (ie, access point mode)?
As above, if you can i'd highly recommend ethernet backhaul.
that's not to say anything bad about wireless, just allows it to show it's full potential rather than also be hampered by backhauling.
I've got a pretty average sized flat, so would ideally expect a single modem will do it, but the ONT is at one end of the property. My 'Office' is down stairs at the other end Being down stairs is basically a converted workshop at some stage in the life of the place, the floor is all lined with insulation etc so it really doesn't let the 5ghz signal through very well.
I just have a mesh unit sitting on my desk, gives me 600mbit of real throughput for anything i do down here and actually happens to give an extra 200mbit throughput in the bedroom upstairs.
Recently i needed to do a bit of testing with the wireless backhaul too, and then i realized. what bugs me the most about my setup is when i drive into the garage, devices latch onto 2.4ghz.
so went and stuck another mesh node right up in the corner, must be about 50M with Iron and two Brick walls between my desk and the mesh unit, so it's on the edge of where the mesh backhaul works well for but honestly... it's perfect... (this is also perfect to keep devices from latching onto this AP and having an unideal path from the house)
full 5ghz coverage across all the property, since it's a proper mesh it's not reliant on devices having to roam
Not many devices on the wifi tonight, but just as an example.
Please ignore the name of one of my units, it's a pre-production unit
Also let's be honest... if i'm not getting 250mbit on my phone, i feel like my connection is too slow... so I've got slightly excessive expectations :)
