    Wifi Router Recommendations and Set Up.

    So this cross talk isn't something I know much about besides that it happens. I note that also the Reyee only runs at 160mhz. Does that mean it has a single channel? Is that problematic? In the current set up (not a series network and the wiring remains though new hardware) because of the...

    Wifi Router Recommendations and Set Up.

    Also I suspect but haven't confirmed that this option may better deal with the sheer number of devices in a modern 12 person home. ADMIN can't keep track yoh!

    Wifi Router Recommendations and Set Up.

    Bud, I undertand this thanks man. Indeed all 3 routers currently broadcast different SSID's (am I speaking correct? lol). I want to migrate to what you describe yes, i.e mesh but not with the pods. 'hell you could even go with a big primary router and the rest the easy R650 ones as they'll...

    Wifi Router Recommendations and Set Up.

    The friend (MHSRIP) that used to help me with this advised me against it. He said they would fry too easily with the lightning we get here. He was actually going to set up what he called a hybrid mesh for me (then covid) with the the Tenda f9's and at the time an archer c30 I had as primary if I...

    Wifi Router Recommendations and Set Up.

    Indeed the 1st AP router has changed I wasn't in RSA when it was done and the problem started then. 'You only have 2 cables from the main router, one to AP 2 and the other to AP 3?' Correct. The cables are actually 5e but cheap and nasty (leftover from a scope creep activity). Ah noted on the...

    Wifi Router Recommendations and Set Up.

    Lol did I mention I'm an amateur . I can understand concepts but the terminology and jargon go over my head. And no no extenders per se (like those netis ones). The tenda f9 has a repeater function and the way I understand it I would lose half my input speed so I have it wired. I haven't...

    Wifi Router Recommendations and Set Up.

    Ah thank you. I saw the Reyee's recommended while reading (the RG-E5) but couldn't find that locally so that was a good tip. I saw somewhere that Reyee runs only with other Reyee? (this could mean in a mesh setup?). Is that a limiting factor for me immediately? I will only purchase the...

    Wifi Router Recommendations and Set Up.
