Wi-Fi Mesh Systems

[Robbo1882]

Can anyone recommend a good Wi-Fi mesh system, I currently currently have BT full fibre 100 and 2 Wi-Fi extender disk suppled BT, but my contract is soon up with BT and the equipment will have to be replaced,

Ideally I would like Wi-Fi 6
Be able to setup guest Wi-Fi
If possible to be able to create VLANS so I can move all my smart home bulbs off the main network.

I have deco mesh 5 i think. It was a recommendation from someone on here. I get 100mbs throughout my home. 3 units

Was on offer via Amazon, at the time.

Have had Google Mesh for over 3 years now with no issues. Bought the set of three. One goes next to the router in the centre of the house. Best to make sure they are both up high. The other two are then at opposite pats of the house.

Think that was my recommendation and they're still working well for me. Bet they're discounted again in the Amazon spring sale.

Deco stuff is meant to be straightforward and decent.

If you have ethernet going to a few points in your house and want something a bit more sophisticated I'd look at the Unifi stuff.

Morning, forgive the question please. I'm not too techy.

We are on EE broadband here and the local speeds are adequate (up to 18/19 Mb download, 8/9 Mb upload). This is down to the local area, there is no 'super/hyper broadband' option here yet.

So my question is, would purchasing something like this enhance what we alreafdy have or just maintain these speeds in all areas of the house?

Thanks

Are you transmitting from all your units, Rammy, or is there one to go,?

The latter. It's like standing near the router at all times, it's great. I now even get WIFI in the external garage as I have a 'node' in the conservatory nearby.

This is the system I have: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1

I finally gave in and ordered the Deco S7 a couple of weeks ago and it's been great so far. We have Virgin broadband and it was forever dropping out when multiple devices were connected. Not had a single issue since setting these up. I'd recommend, especially at the current price.

Wow, that's cheaper than the inferior 5 at my link! Great deal.

From a quick glance, the second link offers slightly more coverage, but the first one should be more than good enough.

Has anyone got the Amazon Eero system fitted ? and if so is it any good.

I am thinking of fitting the 5 system mesh

Another vote for Deco, had it for a while now and it does the job very well.

The Deco gear is very good but if you're looking to save a few quid I know a few people who've had good results with these:
