*Hello Dear sir, i’m professional thumbnail designer on fiver, i can design your thumbnails more unique in just 2hours in $20*
Does the Eero pro 6e cause high ping or latency?
You need to be really careful with mesh setups such as netgears Orbi products. I have owned three different ones even including their top-of-the-line $2,000 four satellite setup.
I kept getting complaints from the kids about poor wifi, so I kept upgrading. I even had the satellites hard wired and still could not get decent wifi.
My home has 3 levels. Basement, first floor and bedrooms on tne second floor. I had the main unit in the basement (right smack in the middle of the house. The second satellite was in the garage about 30 feet from the center of the house. Third was in the loft opposite side of the house and the gourth in the attic 3x floors above the on3 in the basement.
I spent months with netgears tech support (I paid for the annual tech support). The issue I had was that the devices would all connect to the basement unit even when that meant there was literally no wifi signal. In other words devices would bypass the orbi satellites they were next to and only connect to the main unit in the basement.
Netgear wanted to write a custom firmware for my system, and I just said no and told them I wanted my money back.
I bought a ubiquity router and 4x access points. It was cheaper than the orbi and runs circles around it.
Woah we got the same name lol
Nice done. And well done. I was confused why tp link have 2 type router easy mesh and one mesh. They not compatible
Nice to see other tech than what we got here in Germany 😀
This guy is the one of hooli of sillicon valley series 😂😂
This was a great video and I had a very specific question if you don’t mind answering it? I have 3 Asus Wi-Fi six rogue routers throughout my home and I’m thinking about replacing one of the routers with the Wi-fi 7. It would be the router that’s plugged directly into my modem that delivers 2 GHz. My question is around how the Wi-Fi six routers or nodes in this case would work with the Wi-Fi seven router?
Thank you for a valuable info!
Can you buy a mesh system and connect your existing router (which would be the primary node) to that mesh system?
I have a home office detached from the main house. 30 yards out back, would the mesh setup work that far?
you stated that mesh routing speed can be slower than tradtional router speed. if 2 compatible traditional routers were to function in mesh mode, would the transmission speed still be faster than mesh routers, or become equal to each other? thanks!
Mesh systems should only be used as a last resort. The best solution most of the time is wired access points.
Tp link is trash. The xe75 pro is the worse. I had to return it.
1600sq ft house. Should I use a router or mesh ? Unfortunately the main Node or Router will be on one end of the house and not centrally located. I hope that helps. Ive had mesh in the past and its worked alright. At the moment we’re using the Cable/Router combo from our internet provider as we sent back our mesh unit due to having to pay 8.99 per month for them. We’d rather just buy our own.
I have a Deco 50X and the software has been a pain. I have trouble with the password and password reset. I can’t access the router for settings.
This video is very informative! I’m about to move into a 3 story townhome. Square footage is only 1400, but since it’s 3 stories, I’m worried about dead zones with a traditional router. But I’m also a huge gamer, so I want low latency…is this feasible with a mesh system? I know you said the mesh systems can be slower and therefore not ideal for gaming.
I’m confused, im looking for a plug in Wi-Fi for my loft 750sqft . Do you buy the box and then pay for the internet separately? Im lost please help
Great explanation, I have the Deco mesh two node system
If i have a 2nd building near my home that is connected by ethernet, could i use a mesh network with notes in both buildings with wired backhaul to have both building on the same wifi?
I heard something bad about TP-Link possibly being banned from the US. It is a shame too since my AX3000 Pro has been extremely reliable. By that I mean I never have to power cycle or reset it, EVER. I know it is not the only reliable brand. I am just looking to see what other brands or specific models are also really reliable like this. It turns out that TP-Links have a lot of security holes. I just want to find a new brand to go with just incase this happens and we can’t get TP-Link devices anymore.
So if i buy a mesh set up do i connect them to my original router? Or remove my original router and just use the 2 or 3 mesh system? Also can you hard wire some units to a mess unit and wi-fi others?
I have a 5 floor house. I use 4 routers + the shitty ISP router. 1 for each floor from 1-4 (none for the top floor since the wifi is enough to reach the 5th floor).
I have been using both but i would say ease of Use and Better coverage for 3 Story Home the Mesh TP link M4 and above is the best and if you really need ethernet ports get an extender and thats solved … single routers at times drop in speed and signal when you have heavy walls beyond 1’ feet thus mesh is the way to go each floor is independent and you can check stats, monthly reports, etc all through your phone .
How to choose between a Mesh Router or Traditional Wireless Router! Here are the facts to make the decision very easy! Peace! 😀
What do you recommend to stream to tvs too. Will mesh work?
What about having both?
Hello great video! I was wondering do you think it would be worth it upgrading to the WiFi 7 BE19000 tp link over the ace300 WiFi 6e? I have a computer with which I tend to play games that would be able to use the WiFi 7 but I’m still unsure if I will see a difference in 6ghz?
Do you see a difference in coverage between WiFi 6e and 7 ?
Thank you for the help,
Great video I’ve had dead spots in my large 3 story home. And i tried many different things to make it better and nothing works. I’ll be trying a mesh system next with hopes of finally getting WiFi signal to my kitchen. 🥺
Great video and fantastic information as usual! Thanks Mike! 😀
Congratulations. Best information. Very nice🎉
Mesh all day long.
