mesh network

After 5 loyal years of service, my LinkSys Velop MESH system is starting to show its age. Our house is on three levels, 1500sq. ft. each, and my ISP Modem is installed in the basement. I have hardwired a QNAP 10G Switch to the ISP router and my office is wired (Mac Pros, Mac Studio, and QNAP...

Hello, I recently upgraded my home wifi network to a Linksy Mesh network. Generally it works well enough but Airplay from any apple device seems to be unable to connect and play. Why is this happening and what can be done to resolve the issue?

I have just installed a mesh wifi router (TP-Link Deco X60) x 3 units as my home network and it works really well with one unexpected issue. Airplay and other activities that require all devices to be on the same network don't connect properly with say the HomePod speakers connecting to...

Hi all! Just a quick question for the hive mind. I currently have a Linksys Mesh Router (AX6000) but have some weak zones that I'd like to strengthen. My questions is can I use another Linksys router (MR7320/AX1800) as a node to do it? These are both WiFi 6 devices. I have received conflicting...

Old Time Capsule has done a fantastic job with older AC tech but now most of my Apple stuff works with AX wireless. Looking for: 3 or 4 station mesh network routers with each using wired LAN. Can't use wireless to connect them all - there are too many low speed / low signal areas - have tried...

Hi, I’m renovating/extending my house and will be installing Ethernet ports in most rooms. What are the best options for mesh WiFi and switches? Ideally I’d like dedicated Ethernet backhaul, I’ll likely need a switch regardless (all non-mobile devices will be connected via Ethernet). If...

I need help on deciding which wifi system to go with. Right now I am looking at the Netgear Orbi and Ubiquiti Amplifi HD. Wifi in my small house is fine. My goal is to have reliable wifi in my shop and to operate at least one wireless security camera (like the Arlo 2). My shop is...

I have a question that kind of stumps me, sorry for the long post. I’ve searched this issue here and few a few threads showed up but they’re outdated and don’t seem to ask the questions specific to my situation. I have an Arris TG1682G modem/router supplied by the ISP (Cox). I live in a 3...

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my network since I now have a lot of items connected to (see list) and I am feeling some of the pain when it comes to streaming to the various devices in the house. So here is what I am currently running: I have a single Verizon Fios router handling both...

I am updating my home WiFi from an old Airport Extreme to a Netgear Orbi Mesh WIFi system. In my old setup I have been using the Airport Extreme with an Airport Express in client mode connected to an old stereo receiver, allowing me to Airplay music to the receiver. Now I am wondering is there...

I'm torn about getting the standard high end wireless router but want mesh, I have older tech at home. Tons of apple devices everywhere, 5 iPads, 3 iMacs, 4 MacBookAirs, 5 iPhones, blah blah blah. Using timewarner/spectrum and used to get 220+mb/sec down, but time capsule is dying and backups...

We live in a condo and use a range extender to relay wifi. We need to manually switch networks every time we move from the front to the back. We are interested in a Mesh network that creates a single network that does not require switching. The Linksys Velop is a true "Mesh," while the Netgear...
