Any guidance on a Wifi mesh system to use with VF wireless broadband? I presume one of the mesh units has to plug into the broadband modem or can they talk directly to the modem/router via WiFi. So a 3-pack would provide two remote units?

 

All suggestions appreciated.

 

Thanks - Stephen

You can get the D-Link COVR units (they have two and three packs), plug into the router, setup in Bridge mode, and off you go.

Late Friday click and collect solution, I went and bought https://www.tp-link.com/en/home-networking/deco/deco-m5/

 

Relatively easy to install and reset devices to connect to it. It removed a lot of Cat5/Cat6 clutter. Probably not the ultimate geek solution but it works.

 

Thanks for the reply and I'm always grateful the Geekzone exists.
