I appreciate your candor and explanations as well as your responses to the intelligent questions. Personally, now I have to research what mesh six cable is. However, thank you very much for speaking to the common person with your explanations.

Great guide on optimizing Wi-Fi speed with QoS settings! The breakdown of Traditional, Dynamic, and Adaptive QoS types really helps in choosing the right option based on your needs. This is especially useful for households or offices with multiple devices. Thanks for the helpful tips!

Can you connect Starlink directly to a Mesh system, bypassing the router? Second question... I have an outbuilding with an office. do you suggest running a direct cable out to another Mesh unit or directly into the computer? I need wifi calling in this office, not sure the wifi from the house will make it to the office. Do you have suggestions for outdoor wifi extenders?
@WiFiGuy
@WiFiGuy 9 күн бұрын
Yes you can but you will have to turn the router functions off on the Starlink by placing it in "bypass mode" using the Starlink app. TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor, Netgear Orbi Outdoor Satellite (RBS50Y), Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-M. Ethernet cable always beats Wi-Fi. I should have called myself the Ethernet Cable Guy.

Hi , I have a router in the centre of my house . Can I purchase a set of 3 Deco M5: and cover the entire house ? Do I have to use one of the Deco units as a router or can I make all three aa access points and away from the main router .

You can keep your present router and make them all access points or you can remove your router and configure 1 in router mode and the other two in access point mode.

Of all the instructions and videos I've watched on this, yours was the ONLY one that explained it properly without confusion. It was excellent to see the diagrams to show the relationship with what you were talking about. All the other hacks sped through too fast with back and forth repetition, only showing one device at a time and NEVER differentiating between the adapter and the extender. Excellent job, Thank you.

We have Verizon 5g 'whole house' wifi and if we're in the basement/garage our phones lose connection frequently. What is your suggestion? Thanks!
@WiFiGuy
@WiFiGuy Ай бұрын
My experience with all-in-one products provided by ISPs has been the Wi-Fi performance leaves a lot to be desired. I would speak with Verizon and discuss connecting your own high-quality wireless router or mesh system to it. This may involve them putting their device into "bridge mode" or changing other settings to make it work. If the basement is concrete Wi-Fi will not go there. You may need to look into Powerline. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6DboWeMjNNqY7M

So is a TP-Link wifi router (AX55) and extender with the "One Mesh" system and single SSID actually a cheaper "mesh" network? Or is that just marketing lies?

@WiFiGuy
@WiFiGuy Ай бұрын
@@Phrancis5 Mesh is self-healing, provides more expansive coverage, better roaming, and works better for larger homes. Each mesh node has several antennas designed to work in unison with other nodes as a single unified network. The AX55 is a single wireless router that emulates some mesh characteristics. If it works for you then you made a good choice and saved a few bucks

question. I have my wifi modem on my 1st floor near the stairs. And then I have devices in my bedroom which is a bit far. But the Wifi signal inside that room is still full wifi signal. My only concern is the download speed goes down when inside the room. But whenever I am nearby my laptop or on our living room in 1st floor, I always got the full speed. Is Wifi Mesh is good and to be placed nearby bedroom so that I can still get the full download speed? Again I still got a full Wifi signal in bedroom. The only concern is I got less download speed
@jerryjones5765

Speed will usually decrease with distance whether you're using mesh or not. That's just the way Wi-Fi is. With mesh you can place nodes in your bedroom or near you bedroom to remedy this to an extent because devices in your bedroom will be picking up their signal from a device that's much closer.
