Never knew about mesh till last week. Set up a 5 piece eero 6e pro system. I have 4 in the house and one in the garage and now I've got insane speed anywhere on my property. It took about an hour to set everybody up and its been wonderful.
@@benhartson I went with the Eero 6e pro. Initially I set up 5 units as my house was fiarly large and I wanted garage coverage too, but I found out that the range these have is pretty good and I've sent 2 back. I actually had too many and it was causing occasional issues with not knowing which hub to connect me to. 1 on each floor and one on the garage and I have excellent coverage.
@@WarFighter so just the one nearest your modem needs an ethernet cable, the other ones in the mesh just require a USB charger which each unit comes with.
Just ordered an extender today because been having lots of dropped service lately. After watching this though I think I'm just going to return it and go for a mesh now that I better understand the difference between the two. Thanks for the informative video!
Thank you for explaining this in an understandable way for us who were born too early for all this tech talk. We are always struggling with our wifi, provided by Xfinity, which really stinks. We have tried extenders but we still can't even watch 30 mins of tv without it having to buffer. Thank you again. we will looking into this Mesh wifi!
I only decided to get TP Link Deco X60 / AX5400 3-pack MESH wifi 6 system recently after all these years of internet . Very good coverage even only with ONE mesh is switched on. . I am happy with the installation............................. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
My Cable tech recommended a Mesh Router to extend my WiFi range, but do I totally replace my current cable company supplied WiFi router or does a Mesh Router plug into my existing? And if it totally replaces my current WiFi router, will my cable company give me the standard excuse of “It’s not compatible with our system” as seems to always happen?
Thank you for this video, I learned a lot! I had no idea I needed mesh wifi, now I can't live without it. We are just getting Google Fiber, so I'm really excited to see the difference in streaming, my daughter's gaming, etc. I will subscribe because you made a dull subject (for this biology nerd) easy to learn... oooh, squirrel... shiny thing!
awesome explanation! One quick question. Just bought a 2 mesh. What happens to the router wifi i had before? will i have 2 wifis or is going to be unified?
Question: how to start with a mesh system ? I have a normal router (with wifi) and 4 output ports, that I currently use - If I replace my router with one of the mesh system then I have a limit of ethernet ports so do i first have a switch from my modem and then use one output to the mesh system or ???
When we finally got a gigabit fiber network in our neighborhood I decided to rethink everything so purchased an eero 6+ mesh wifi system with 3 boxes. It’s awesome. Never any issues. Very even coverage even out into the yard.
Just added a fourth box way at back of property to ensure a strong connection to my new Generac generator which has WiFi connectivity. That way I can monitor it on my iPad.
Thanks for the introduction to this topic. A couple of questions if I may: 1) Each nodes must be plugged into the mains for power but does it transmit any signals on the mains wiring? The reason I ask this is because HiFi critics often say that they have measurements to show that wifi extenders introduce noise into the system which has a detrimental effects the performance of Hi Fi components. 2) Do you have to run an ethernet patch cable between the base and the other nodes?
They dont need bash cable, but i believe they can utilize one if present. I dont know if they can balance the load between fired and fireless backbone though.
i found the coffee tutorial very brief and informative. thank you. everyone here loves coffee and they think you're brilliant. we use Ethernet though, i find the Wi-Fi topic to be slightly irrelevant to my circumstance. more cooking videos please.
I have a google mesh network for home automation and improved WiFi. Funny thing is, i was surprised when the router i plugged in to use as an ethernet only connection automatically surrendered control to the mesh network, which tells me that if I wanted to, I could theoretically use any WiFi device to extend my network. That would make things very interesting if that is the case.
Just buy standard routers and connect in Access Point mode, they are usually cheaper than mesh satellite devices, and you can also set them up with the same SSID - your devices will auto switch to whichever access point is nearest.
It looks like the strength and quality of the slave node depends on the Wi-Fi connection it gets from the master node. What’s the best way to maximize the slave node's source signal?
I wil be purchasing very soon the new Macbook M2 Ultra capable of using WiFi 6. I am fortunate enough to live in a house already wired for it by my son-in-law. I can't wait to witness the performance first hand as I begin to use the new system. Thanks for showing me what to expect. I moved here from the mountains in California (because of fire), and find myself reunited with family - and technology is my background thing so I watch all of your videos with anticipation. Thank you.
Does mesh work with any gateway/router? Or do you disable your ISP’s routing and the mesh system directs all traffic? If the latter wouldn’t there be double NAT concerns?
When do you know it’s time to upgrade a mesh system? I’m currently still rocking s hybrid OG google wifi system combined with a nest wifi as the main point. I get the occasional buffer but nothing horrible in terms of streaming. Thanks!
Hi thanks that was so good to hear your video on mesh wifi . I have a very large fig tree between my studio and house the nbn is connected to the house and I am looking for a solution as there is no internet signal at the studio some 30-40 meters away from the house. Do you think the mesh will work for me . The house is double storey and the shed is metal mainly. Thanks for your help😄
I have swap my Wifi extender to a Wifi Mesh router and it was a massive improvement. Thanks to your video, I understand the downsides of a Wifi extender and managed to make to jump to a Wifi Mesh system. Oh, regarding your NAS storage, is there a specific app you use to access your NAS storage?
Hello, do we need to have an ethernet wired connection in our home in order to use mesh wifi? or can we do it with a wireless router like for example t-mobile 5g home internet? my landlord told me there is no internet wires at my place and I called xfinity and it would by pricey for them to run wires because there is no towers close by to where I’m staying
@@Ed-yj1ux It doesn not matter if it's wired or wireless, so long as you can connect a mesh wifi router to your existing router (using a wired connection). Then, you can place one of the nodes (that came with the mesh router) anywhere in your home to expand the signal.
i've been using a wifi6 mesh network for about 4 years now. so stressful having to deal with the dumb connection between the nodes literally daily when the 5GHz channels start dropping for some reason. 🤦🏻♂️
I think since Bluetooth is about 30ft connection, would you think that maybe these mesh aps' are interconnexted that way and has an algorythm or auto adjustment amongst each oth interms of antenuation, obstructions, that during setup doesn't it ask you to place the access points one by one during setup? I think its seting that up accordingly with the aforementioned in mind, obstructions, antenuation, having its mimmo or algo qos in its code. Possibly during setup adjusting the Dbi as well during setup even things like wifi throttle, Dbi and range bluetooth, Channel interference.
i have a question. My wife and I just bought our first home and we love it! We currently have a NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE500 Router for our home and it works great but as I am starting to understand how Mesh Wifi works, it is something I definitely want to get for our home down the road. is buying a Mesh Wifi System worth getting for a 1400 Sq Ft Home? or is sticking with our NETGEAR RAXE500 just fine? We just got a starter home for now and once we start having a family in a couple of years, we will move into a bigger house then
If your current wifi setup works well across your home and you have no issues with signal and performance, you don't necessarily need any mesh devices.
Hi, question on this. If I need to install one of the nods in the basement, out of the range of any extender, can i do it with a wire? We have fiber connection downstairs, but I will like to have wiifi also. Thanks!
can you have just one and connect it wireless? or you have to have it on ethernet? why after creating your wifi you cant put it in the limits of the deadzone in order to extend the wifi signal?
Thank you for this video! I need a wired connection for my work from home position and am looking for solutions. If I have the mesh routers wirelessly connected to the main router can I hardwire my laptop to one of the mesh routers? Thank you

So it would work outside my yard with max signal. Mainly i want mesh to pick up signal from lan and extend it via wifi
Hi! My apartment complex provides wifi for us in the complex with our rent. Do you think I can connect the original mesh router to the ethernet port in our living room wall and have that be our "main mesh router", or does this only work if you have an actual modem in the apartment...
I noticed the backbone on a mesh wifi, but what if you just use the same ssid wouldn't the devices utilize the strongest signal anyway and auto swtch amongst the repeater and the main router? Oh and change the repeater's ip as different ip however utilize the same subnet so its unified.

Thanks for the explanation of things. It makes it much clearer, but with some challenges. If I want to move from the old conventional 2.4GHz Wifi to 5 or 6 GHz, how do I cover a space of 8000M2 with a lot of concrete (fortified) walls. I would need a lot of mesh wifi devices. Correct or is there a smarter way of doing that? Salamat
Great video but can I ask a silly question (this is all new to me). With a mesh system does it have a WPS So I can connect my tv, printer with just one push like I do now ?

Shall I then connect 1 of such Mesh router into the main router and second as an access point ? I cannot replace the router completely because it's also allowing the connection to TV from my network provider

When you talk about plugging in the other 2 mesh where does it plug into. I know the main one plugs into modem

Any VLAN support? or is this consumer grade only?
So every mesh needs an Ethernet to connect it to the modem? My modem only has 1 Ethernet hole

Its not required, but it can help if you need network connectivity if your main power goes out.

@@Dat1Mexican Hi! I went from a TP-Link Extender with the OneMesh to a Mercusys WiFi Mesh. All is good now but I want the equal speed all throughout the house.
No, I haven't tried the PowerLine because it might have the same speed with the wifi extenders before.
