Some helpful soul mentioned Mesh WiFi networks to the neighbour concerned in the thread below and he’s now interested in one…
forums.overclockers.co.uk
I‘m assuming the mesh controller would need to be near or wired to the fibre modem with the slave nodes doted around the house.
My questions are thus:
1. Would the mesh network be able to support both a ”full fat” network for the owners and a “diet” one for guests as the fibre modem can provide both?
2. Can you get a slave node with has 2 LAN ports to feed 2 wide area outdoor access points (TP-link CPEs)?
3. Can you get slave nodes that are IP55 as there’s a outdoor balcony area the neighbours have now decided they want covered?
Thanks in advance. Again.
Adding a second router to an existing home network?
I’m helping a neighbour extend their home network with a second router which will both provide WiFi coverage in the rear of the house and feeding two external wide area APs (TP-Link CPEs). Have no problems with the wiring, SSID configurations and setting up the CPEs, but I’m not entirely sure...
