I have some questions if you can help. Thanks
I read about this and decided to have a look....then I saw the prices!!!
A decent review is here: https://www.pcworld.com/article/6933...ports-car.html
Way way too pricey for private homes.....so unless you are looking at it for a business with lots of devices I shouldn't bother.....
I was considering this:

I use BT whole home Wi-Fi mesh. Cost me about £150. Works very well for me.
Fully depends on what you go for. I use the Tenda Nova mesh , you should be able to get a 3pack which should cover a 4/5 bed home easily for about £60.Quote:

Means I have a great signal throughout the house now and it extends out to the garden too.
Exactly what I wanted to hear. I have Talk Talk fibre which has always been good (been with TT for donkeys), but weve extended the house and have trouble getting anything in one of the bedrooms. I bought a netgear extender, and although gives a reasonable wifi signal in that bedroom, but plays havoc with everything else and my sky is now constantly disconnecting and my teams with work. I've tried everything, including clearing the cache, and changing wifi channels. I've run out of ideas now, so thinking of trying the mesh.Quote:

I’m with TalkTalk Fibre and run the Amazon Eero Pro system (3 pack). Similarly, the talk talk router struggled to reach my extension which caused regular drop outs. I replaced it with the 3 router Eero pro system, including hard wiring one of the hubs to the primary hub and can’t fault it at all. It’s exceeded all my expectations. I now get my max speed throughout the house and garden. The app is also great. It logs all devices connected to my network and allows me to control their access individually. I can also see which hub they’re connected to. One other benefit is the ability to create profiles for the kids where I log all their devices and can limit access to certain sites (or apps), restrict internet access during set times or even block devices completely. All very easy to set up and monitor.Quote:
