Mesh Wifi - home install
Discussion
Morning all. About to move house, so time for a small project. House is a)rented and b) old, so don't really want to wander around pulling Cat6 through walls, so was looking at a nice Wifi Mesh. There seem to be a few crowdfunded ones out there that aren't near shipping, and the old open-mesh ones that look like they need a Cat5 each. Any recommendations for APs that just need power to play nicely?
Allegedly 5000 sq ft, but its long, rather than large, if that makes sense. Up shouldn't be an issue, but from previous experience a lot of the internal walls will be old external, and thus quite resilient to signal. If possible, I'd like the ability to throw an AP into an outdoor socket without having to mess about with it as well as popping one in the outhouses to extend reach down the garden. Probably five or six in total?
Happy to consider the powerline wifi jobbies, but as said above powerline can be a tetchy little devil (currently have the odd dropout for thirty seconds now and again) and strongly suspect the external power will be on a different circuit. It's odd, as I would have thought it to be a reasonably common problem for SMEs, and for there to be a solution that didnt involve pulling Cat5 everywhere - a nice simple two radio, one listening, one broadcasting job. Rats.
