Looking to get a new WiFi Mesh system, and debating between a few options. Would love to hear some feedback/thoughts from people around them.
Currently been looking at the Netgear Orbi RBK760S, Orbi RBK852 or TP-Link Deco XE75.
We'll be on just normal fibre. Could potentially upgrade to Gigabit Fibre in the near future, but I don't see us going for Hyperfibre anytime soon.
We've got a Ubiquiti dream machine pro with two access points at home, they make good gear. When we have the spare money, I'm also going to add some cameras to the system.
Yeah Ubiquiti get some shit online by so-called professionals, but I have a UDM-SE with a U6-Pro AP and it's great. Been contemplating getting a U6-Enterprise just for the Wifi 6E.
I personally don't like the Mesh systems, I'd rather have all AP's wired in, but I get sometimes you can't just run cables
Yeah, unfortunately it would be quite a big job to get everything wired in. My partner games a bit, but nothing crazy, and probably the most intensive thing I do is live stream sports.
It is my understanding that using "Tri Band" Mesh systems would help with stability and latency? Would that be correct?, or is there no real difference from that front, and the Tri vs Dual is more around bandwidth.
Yeah - It does sound like the mesh system may be your best approach in that case. They have come a long way since I last tried them
Mmmmm, just trying to decide now whether a cheaper mesh system will do, or forking out for a higher spec one will perform better in terms of stability and ping.
