The main mesh appliance (Deco XE75Pro) can act as a VPN client or a VPN server, but this is probably not the scope of the question.

The mortar does not matter (and likely it's not mortar, but brick and mortar!). It's the steel reinforcement in there that would be causing the problem. Faraday cage. A Wifi backhaul will have trouble as well, but strategically distributed, a mesh would solve the problem where the signal can go through one wall, but maybe not 3. I have had success in my place (steel-reinforced concrete) with 2 XE75 Deco units (about 50-60 clients, most of them on the IoT 2.4 network). But I found them to be a bit quirky -- I had to decommission a third X55 unit that I needed for an outdoor space, but that seemed to hurt rather than to help. From what I read the powerline backhaul is hit-and-miss. I wouldn't count on it. If it's a new home, why aren't there CAT6 cables in the walls already?

Buy a [3-pack of XE75](https://amzn.to/422cygQ) routers. US$290 on Amzn right now if they're in the US. Cheap enough to just try out. Set up the main router by the modem in a central and high up place if possible. Spread out the other two. Observe Wifi availability and [fast.com](http://fast.com) speed. For the outdoor space, they can add further units where necessary. A 2.4Ghz network may be more available because it passes through walls better and is likely fast enough in any case.

Wi-Fi 6e depends on if you have plenty of devices that take advantage of this. AT&T's fiber hardware is already Wi-Fi 6 as it is. If you have enough devices, Eero is very plug-n-play (easy to use in other words) and TP-Link is the best out of them for their additional features. I would avoid Linksys. Had a bad experience with them...

I have had both but mostly Asus.

My Asus router got infected, took over a month to patch. Went to tp link 75pros , had absolutely jack all for features and cloud interface. Solution.. opnsense + ubiquity control on a cheep mini pc and ubiquity AP's bought used cheep.

If you want just a single router with no mesh then I would get [this](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6507582.p?skuId=6507582). But if your house is like 4000+ square feet I would look at getting a mesh system, this would be especially helpful because your house is two stories.

I have had the TP-Link Deco xe75 pro mesh for over two years. It sucks. Constant battle. I bought into the many YouTube "reviews" saying how awesome it is. Looking back, none of those people had any length of experience with the product. They were just rehashing TP Link marketing points. My reality is I have about 63 devices. 2.4 ghz devices are constantly dropping off the network. At least a couple times a week ALL devices are dropped, while the TP Link app says, "Everything looks good". At this point, I have to reboot the main Deco router. I have also spent hours naming devices in the client list to recognizable names, and for stationary devices, turning off mesh and assigning the nearest mesh point (because they often connect to the furthest mesh point and have a weak signal). I found that when I have to reboot the router, all of that customization is lost. There is no way to back this up. It's been a terribly frustrating experience. I paid a lot of money for 4 units thinking it would be the best ever. Bad mistake.

Reddit Icon
Hot_Car6476 • 7 days ago

Given the choice between extender and mesh - always pick mesh. You could also explore wired solutions (or MoCA and powerline) but most of those will support a mesh anyhow (by adding a wired backhaul). So, start with mesh and see how it goes. I really really really like (and was somewhat surprised by) my Deco XE75. I bought it - expecting to add wired backhauls - and was astounded at how well it worked without them so I never bothered connecting the cables.

r/HomeNetworking • Do I need a wifi mesh system or an extender ->
Reddit Icon
Hot_Car6476 • 6 days ago

The amount of devices connected is rarely as much of an issue as people think. At least - not in a residential setting. You could have 20-40 devices and it's not likely an issue (unless each one is someone watching Netflix in 4K simultaneously). Running an ethernet cable is absolutely he best solution, but it's not the only solution. Solving this - within the confines of your parents' home is more complicated that just getting a router. The *easiest* solution would be to get something like a Deco XE75 and replace your parents' router with one of them and place two more around the house. Before you get into that though.... you should absolutely test the wifi speed all around the house and figure out where the best speeds are and what the best seeds are. You should also test what a wired speed is when connected directly to the existing router. And while you're at it, you should find out what speeds your parents are paying for. See if they're even getting it. And a search through past posts on this sub about mesh wifi will be hugely helpful as you navigate this. The answer for you will be very similar to the answer for 100 people before you. Two other solutions which offer promise (with complexity) are: * MoCA adapters * Powerline Adapters Having fought this fight 9getting wifi around an apartment, I'm convinced the easiest first step is to just get a robust mesh system in place. Then, if need be you can work on integrating addition tools to bolster it.

Something to consider is that you have not specified what the entire ISP provided speed is (and whether it's matching what you're paying for). And here's the catch.... if you're playing for 25 Mbps and getting 24.3 Mbps and you're a high bandwidth users... you very well might actually be slowing them down with whatever you're doing because there's so little WiFi to share. On the other hand, if you're playing for 500 Mbps and getting 518 Mbps (like me), it's hard to imagine that you could hurt their speed with your connection. Note that in these scenarios, the issue isn't the wire that you've connect. It's simply the amount of usage your demands require. But, it's just a hypothesis. I share my 500 Mbps with three roommates and I installed a Mesh WiFi router to get the signal strong enough throughout the apartment. You could consider that as an option as well - replace your existing router with a brand new system. like a Deco XE75. I absolutely love mine. It pushing signals through four walls - signals that my computer really couldn't get. I was at about 70 Mbps (sometimes dropping to 3 Mbps) before... Now I'm at 350 Mbps. But convincing stubborn roommates to entirely upgrade and change WiFi just of you might be a hard sell. But they'll likely have better service if you do.

Yeah. You have it configured properly. First Eero, then a switch, then the other devices. >one thing I always disliked about them is that they "auto" switch between wired and wireless backhaul That's really strange.I think if it was auto switching and in so doing it was selecting the slower of two options, I'd be upset. I would, however, explore if/what possible problems it might be identifying on the wired networks that you're unaware of. I sit possible that the wireless backhaul is faster than no backhaul at all - and that the wired backhaul is failing? Or the switch?

I'm super happy with my Deco XE75. Whether it will work of ryou depends on a lot of information not provided. * Floor plan * Building materials * Cables available in house (ethernet or coax) A lot of people talk smack about mesh and it does have some drawbacks, but again - I'n ecstatic with the performance of my XE75. I tried and M5 before it, and it failed pretty miserably. I had planned to do some additional work to beef up the XE75 but I did a quick superficial install and realized I didn't need to add anything to it. It totally outperformed expectations. Full speed through the property. Perhaps it could work for you. Or maybe not (since again - various factors), but it's easy enough to set up and test, and some free turn policy could give you ample opportunity to try it out.

If you want better configuration dont go Deco its locked down by the software app to run some services and tweak. Get one of the Onemesh or Easy mesh routers like the AXE5400.

TP-Link AXE5400 (Archer AXE75) here for about $150 currently. On 6e (I turn off 2.4 and 5 Ghz) I get a consistent 2400 bps on my quest 3 and pro. Nothing else in my house uses 6e so there's zero competition for bandwidth. Only problem is the headsets struggle to connect sometimes. Toggling wifi on and off in the headset usually does the trick.

This is awful advice. You need to take into consideration what the needs are. For example I have 29 devices paired with smart home automation and a 1.5gbps connection. If I use an AXE5400 then I am speed capped over wifi to only get a max of about 850mbps download speeds instead of the full 1.5gbps due to the AXE5400 only having gigibit ethernet ports (Routers with 2.5gbps ports are rare and expensive). The Wifi 6 performance on the AXE5400 is also dreadful. I am getting an AXE75 to see if it's any better because I am so disappointed with the AXE5400. You are probably the sort of person that would have said in the 90s "28 Megs of memory is plenty enough!". My Asus 86u router is also slower over 5g wifi than the crappy AXE5400.

Not sure if you mean you have coax and ethernet on each floor? If so this makes it fairly simple, a few steps to get this working. Mesh wifi would make sense, especially if each router can be centrally located and connected via ethernet. Personally I use the tp-link deco 6e mesh and I'm happy with it. It looks like you have some ethernet cables already connected to your main router, if those cables go to spots in your home that would be where you'd put your mesh wifi routers, then your done. From there you will need to disable the wifi on the ISP router, commonly called putting it in "bridge mode". Your order of connection would look somewhat like this. All connected via ethernet. ISP router - > Ethernet switch - > mesh wifi hardware If you'd like to utilize all those hanging blue ethernet cables you'd have to terminate them your looking for something called an ethernet crimper, lots on amazon. Hope that helps, let me know if you need any more clarification.

As someone who wasted his time with a wifi 6 router, I'd say go for wifi 6e. Got the AXE5400 for 160$ CAD (100 euro) and am quite happy with it. Wifi 6 was pretty much comparable to my stock modem, I could maybe increase the bitrate from 200mbs to 250mbs for a similar, or slightly worse, latency. With wifi 6e, it runs much better than that, all the way up to 500mbs. With how much it makes a difference on image quality, it can be a waste of your headset and PC's value to try and save money on the router. If OP lives in the middle of a field, then maybe wifi 6 will work fine. If they live in a city, it's probably not even worth trying.

Personally, I would not recommend it. It was one of the many routers I tested and it did not maintain reliable signal strength with the Quest 3. Unfortunately, the Quest 3 seems to be very picky about what routers it works well with. A lot of other people have also had trouble with the AXE75/AXE5400 and the Quest 3: [https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Get-Help/Known-Isssue-Unstable-wifi-coverage-with-Quest-3-on-some-Router/td-p/1090698](https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Get-Help/Known-Isssue-Unstable-wifi-coverage-with-Quest-3-on-some-Router/td-p/1090698) To be clear this seems to be a problem specific to the Quest 3, with people on Quest 2/other headsets saying the router worked fine. But since you are getting a Quest 3 that's kind of beside the point. Also there have been software updates that may/may not have improved things (when I last checked the replies were kind of mixed, with a fair number still saying they had problems; I can't test it myself because I returned mine). I wouldn't go so far as to say that AXE75 absolutely will not work with the Quest 3, but I would recommend either the [MSI Radix AXE6600](https://www.amazon.com/MSI-AXE6600-Tri-Band-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B0BTQ637LJ) or [Asus GT-AX6000](https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Rapture-Gaming-Router-GT-AX6000/dp/B09L8PCTPT/) over it. Those always worked with no issues even prior to any software updates, and I can tell you they still work well to this day. I think you're more likely to have a good experience with either of those routers.

I can’t speak for the eero myself since it’s actually my brother who’s using it and I’ve got a Deco actually lol. The app kinda sucks but once it’s all setup I didn’t need to do anything else. Got the 3 pack from Costco and it’s been solid. Just needed to turn off fast roaming since it was cutting off uploads randomly. Guess the house is too small for 3 APs.

TP Link Deco definitely requires an app and an account and although there is a web interface, it can't do much. Nice gear, but not acceptable under your policy.

With what looks like a large tree in between your house & guest house, I would think hard wiring that section would be best. We got a TP Link Deco mesh system back when we got our SL (Oct 2021) and have 4 mesh nodes (the first acts as the router) around our property, covering a few acres in good wifi. Originally, we had one at our house trying to wirelessly connect to another node at our guest house about 230' away (same as your 70m) but there were trees in the way, so once we laid in ground cable between those 2 nodes, we were able to then extend beyond to our shop & our gate.

Deco works really well with extending range. Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. I had a Ge800 tied to a be550 and a WiFi 7 range extender. Super good stuff right? But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco.

I am pretty happy with my Deco system. All these systems are typically discounted on prime day if you have surrendered your soul to Darth Bezos and if you can wait until then. I know the standard advice on this sub is to do hardwired APs. But without enterprise grade system with controller, devices (I am looking at you fruit-phone) tend to cling to APs. I think the mesh systems are somewhat better at making the devices hop since the stations can “talk” to each other. Read about 802.11 k/v/r if interested. Also, most mesh systems offer wired backhaul that will always make things better.

You may need more Deco's but start with 4 Also take note you do not need to buy Wi-Fi7 right now.

Don't do this if you have a home network and semi-regular internet outages. I just discovered that Decos and TP-Link's gaming routers require a modem connection to route traffic for physically connected devices. This is probably no big deal for a lot of folks, but for those of us with a NAS, or PCs that require a physical connection, it's obnoxious. The Deco unit ports are WAN/LAN ports, and they default to WAN until a modem is detected (same for their gaming routers). During an internet outage, most modern modems go into a reboot cycle, and every time they do a full power cycle, the Deco no longer detects them, and flips all of its ports back to WAN. This results in your physically connected devices getting disconnected from your network every 15 minutes or so while the modem reboots, effectively rendering your home network useless.

Yeah, so... without going the "masquerade" route with a WAS-110, etc..

Yes I do - I have a very overkill setup at home which I won’t go into details haha.

I would avoid Eero unless you only need basic stuff.

Also Eero doesn’t work good if you have or are considering 5G Home Internet now or in the future. Apple still sells Linksys in their stores despite no really having a future with HomeKit routers. I personally use TP-Link Decos and they work good with Apple HomeKit and also all Apple products. It comes down to personal brand preference but most everything modern works fine.

It is a useful distinction, though, because consumer 'mesh' systems differ from conventional APs in two ways: 1. Mesh systems are intended to be a wireless only solution first where the end user won't typically have the infrastructure to hardwire them. It's great that a wired backhaul option is included, of course, but this isn't who they built the system for. 2. Their method of management and featureset are aimed at consumers rather than prosumers and SMB. Take two solutions from the same company: TP-Link Deco and TP-Link Omada. Deco is intended to be comprehensive and turnkey - you only need this one product and you're done. It has all of the features that consumers are likely to use, but it's also missing features that the most basic of access points should include, primarily multiple SSID and VLAN (802.1Q) support. For prosumers, this is immediately a disqualification, but most consumers don't have a clue what a VLAN is. I still recommend the Deco system depending on who the end user is. Compare this to Omada which is clearly a prosumer and SMB solution. It has all of the features one would expect, 802.1X, VLANs, multiple SSIDs, etc. It's also done from a single pane of glass, but via the Omada controller rather than directly. It's also usually more expensive. A feature often included in these higher end systems is a wireless backhaul which can be helpful in situations where getting infra in is challenging, but this is the opposite of the mesh in that wired infra is the default and to be expected. I don't like the marketing term mesh because it doesn't really reflect the value add of the solution. What's really common is someone will buy this for their tiny house thinking 3 radios will help their WiFi issues, when actually it's just made it so much worse, all without pushing that wired IS the best option rather than relying on wireless. What's great about these solutions is the robust wireless backhaul (not going to deny this) to use in situations where wired infra isn't present, a common reality in housing, and the user-friendly setup and administration of the solution.

Id check out the decos then unifi, unifi is pricer but nicer, my parents used decos forever without issue. If you just want some basic QOS/port forwarding you'll be good to go.

Any router will work. That's one aspect of Specturm's setup that I really like. Depending on your space, you can either get a single router or a mesh system. I have two houses, have Orbi at one and Tp-link at the other. I had Asus for a while. I personally found the TP Link DECO setup easiest and the performance has been fantastic. Can get it cheap at Costco too.

Tp-link deco. It provided a great mesh network and you’ll have maxed out wifi everywhere in the house.

I have good luck using my deco home mesh, go through Walmart and you'll most of the time find it on sale for less than $100. I picked up my 2 pack for around $80

You're probably better off looking for a WiFi mesh solution that can daisy chain between each other. A cheap kit that'll do the job would be one of the TP link Deco mesh kits.

I use Deco work which is fairly lightweight traffic and eero at home with massive traffic. I haven't maxed out the eeros but haven't put the Decos to that same test. The eeros come back online and reconnect to everything much faster than the Decos. I like eero app way better.

Yeah, extenders don't work in big houses. For 3500 sq ft, get a mesh system like TP-Link Deco or ASUS ZenWiFi.Covers everything, no dead zones, no 5G or 2.4GHz.

Same here. The only downside is that it doesn’t automatically switch channels to avoid interference so every other day I have to tell it to “optimize” the WiFi for it to run at best speeds via the app.

Depends on construction materials but assuming wood and drywall your issue won’t be area per floor it’s getting the signal between floors. Wired data to Wi-Fi per floor is best but if that’s not available a tp-link deco mesh system on floors 1-3 ought to do you may need a 4th node on the fourth floor it’s just hard to say. It’s relatively inexpensive and easy to set up. TP Link is getting a lot of news right now so you’ll see some opinions on it. All I can tell you is that if you’re looking for ease of set up and solid operation at a good price its a good fit.

I am currently using a Deco mesh system in bridge paired with a Gold. 50+ devices on wifi and a couple using Ethernet from the Deco nodes. The whole system works seamlessly, very happy with my purchases.
