TP-Link - EAP670

Unifi is no easier/harder than Omada. I'd steer clear of Mikrotik for Wifi unless you *really* know what you're doing.

Omada is the way

I had nothing but issues with my TP link Omada system when I had it. Ran it for a few years but what finally pushed me to get rid of it was I went work from home for my job and my zoom calls kept dropping. 

I want with Omada since it’s cheaper and does the job I basically built my network and connect my router wan to the ISP It’s ISP agnostic and worked fine with bell

Went from Google WiFi to TP-link Omada. Night and day improvement.

Just get some real access points like tp-link Omada and run VLAN tagged SSIDs and do the parental controls in the Firewalla. You can also get Firewalla’s access points for even more fine grained control.

I do with TP-Link Omada. Multiple APs in outbuildings on my property plus one on the outside of the house. Two inside. Works great.

Get omada or unify. Either will make you happy. One ssid for users, one for guests.

I'm partial to Omada since I can setup additional access points and control them all from a controller on my local network, no internet needed if I don't want to. Search for TP Link Omada equipment, and for the price I don't think it can be beat

Get a new mesh system and connect the nodes to the existing wires. I’ve used Orbi in the past, and Ubiquiti and TP-Link Omada, and they are all good.

This. UniFi if you have a larger budget or Omada if you have a tighter budget. Both are great.

Tp-Link all he way. Either Deco (if you want ease of installation) or Omada (if you want configurability). You can run the Omada Controller locally as a HA Add-On and also there is an Omada Integration giving you control over all your Omada gear, including control over PoE management on switches.

Depends on your needs — either UniFi or TP-Link Omada. If you decide to go with any of those systems, don’t forget to disable Wi-Fi on your Starlink router.

I was lured into Omada by the price tag (and the fact that I've had TP Link since 2014, even when all I had was a single router). I regret it. The interface is insanely slow, and everything is incredibly underpowered. Roaming between access points is a nightmare. mDNS pass-through between VLANs doesn't work, despite configuring the settings exactly as they say to. They act like they have features of a real network system, but everything has been slow to roll out. They're constantly adding the basics, like mDNS pass-through. If you know what you're doing with a network, I wouldn't recommend them.

Router and stand alone wifi system, something like tp-link Omada with separate hw controller and wired accesspoints throughout the house. I installed this right before Covid and never even so much as looked at it, brilliant stuff. I also installed it incthe office where I work with 15-20 people, never had any issues

I'm happy with my 4 x TP Link Omada APs and running their software controller in a VM.

I have a full omada stack and I still would say unifi, I am likely going to go back to unifi when it's time to go from 6 to 7, the controllers for TP-Link just can't keep up with the speed and it's all very flaky.

TP-Link Omada APs work well with Firewalla as well

Buy them from Amazon.. They support mesh configuration in addition to wired back haul. https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2949/

no worries, there's also one mesh but that only works with routers to extenders and is absolutely trash and I would not recommend it

If you want cheap and easy to set up mesh WiFi check out TP-Link. Get a decent router then a couple of their mesh wall plugs. It’s easy and reliable. But many love to bash on TP-Link for both good and bad reasons. I’ve used them a few times and they have been great.

You'll need one [OneMesh compatible router](https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/?filterby=AND%7C5876), then you'll get however many [range extenders](https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/range-extender/?filterby=AND%7C5876) you need to cover the area you need. But remember, less is more in this situation. You don't want to flood your home with these devices. Only get as many as you actually need. Start with just the router and figure out your dead zones, then buy the extenders or start with two extenders and buy them from somewhere you can easily return and refund one or both if you don't need them. This is all really easy to set up in my experience, and it just works. You can also skip the actual extenders and just use another OneMesh-compatible router. That may also work for your setup. Sometimes this is better since the routers normally have a stronger signal and longer range. The Deco series from TP-Link is also quite good in my experience.
