Agree about the eero Pro 6. Great coverage and wifi speed.

Another vote for AmpliFi Alien

Had endless firmware issues with Orbi but Alien mesh units have been solid and never skipped a beat with Room nuc

I got a pair of ASUS routers that form a mesh and have an Ethernet backhaul running between my main house and the office in the detached garage. Highly recommended.

Thanks!

I think that was late winter/early spring. Looks even better when the Japanese Maple, Crape Mettle’s and all the others are raging with color in full bloom. It’s been many years in the making. Each year or two another ā€œprojectā€.

Ubiquiti Unifi is what I use, very pleased, My son set up for me so i don’t really know that much about it. Always 6 bars in the house out side and in detached garage, 5 units only two wired.

Using Orbi WiFi6 AX6000…working very well

Not seen that is that for Unifi or their other products?

@Robert_England I have the Google mesh wifi system and it works spectacularly. Perhaps I should move to a single Google Nest device as a hub. I want to keep the original Google mesh units as nodes as they have an Ethernet jack out, which I need to feed my Roon system on one floor and a TV on another floor. The newer Google Nest units do not have the Ethernet jack. I do realize that I would have to start a new network but don’t know whether that is a pain…

From a small country in Western-Europe (Holland).
I use Ubiquity Amplify. This is quite professional. Not the cheapest, but …
Works (two units only) very well in my home which has no concrete wall or floor/ceiling elements.
Modern houses might require one or two more slave units.
They also make a Gigabit version, but that is extra pricey.

@Flashman Actually it is a bit of a pain, especially if other devices on your network know the old SSID - you have to edit the info on those devices. My solar panels were the first to go offline…
Anyway Nest has higher rates than Mesh and good stability. Make sure the first hub is your new Nest device. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I probably won’t add the Google Nest hub, as I have several devices connected to my current network that are quite finicky and I don’t want to mess up what’s really working well at this point!

I can only speak to UniFi.

I’ll check it out what section is it in?

Thank, so it’s not released yet no wonder I can’t see it. I only stick with full releases got burned a few times on beta and release candidates.

Ahh…I totally spaced the GA release.

Netgear Orbi. Period.

I have an Amplifi Alien Mesh network. A bit pricey but easy to set up and has been very reliable. I’ve had it almost 2 years and it has been rock solid. I chose it mainly because it’s made by Ubiquiti Labs which makes great network equipment for the enterprise and I’ve had good experience with them at work.

I’ve been with eero with four homes. One being ~12,000 sq ft. Awesome now with even more power in the pro version. I’m running Roon everywhere along with 6 tvs that all stream no cable boxes, video surveillance on home perimeter hardwired but all being handled.

Great customer support if you need it. And backward compatible.
