Mesh WiFi
Posted: April 6th, 2024, 6:49 pm
Hi,
In my property in the UK, I have Sky Broadband (which has atrocious speeds relative to others when I check around me on https://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk ... -area.html) but will be kept for various other reasons.
My house is three storeys and it is also reasonably long as it has a 2 storey extension to the rear. My home office occasionally suffered from really bad lag and even slower speeds located as it was at rear end of the house so I could at least look at some greenery while getting annoyed with my work colleagues!
I therefore invested in what was a relatively cheap Mesh WiFi to see if that produced better results than the simple WiFi Repeater I was using and the results have been satisfactory to good. (I bought this product - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07QN4GLRG .
Tomorrow, I fly out to Spain and my property there has a similar issue in that it is long (as it has front and back terraces) albeit only over 2 storeys. I have previously also used a WiFi Booster for the upstairs as the fibre input was on the ground floor front room. The performance upstairs has been poor but because my office is downstairs, I've never done anything more about it.
I'm now thinking of putting in a mesh system in to that property and wonder what thoughts anyone may have as to a cheap and cheerful system that is pretty much "plug and play" given I'm not really much of a techie.
The same product as I bought in the UK is available on Amazon.es (but could equally be Amazon.de as that generally has a wider selection of products) as that is likely where I'll purchase anything from so as to avoid any possible import tax issues if shipped from the UK. (http://www.amazon.es/dp/B07KJ2TDMR) so I could go for that but welcome to other recommendations.
Cheers
