Great job. Planning on next house build and will add these tipes and your links. Only quibble is your comments on mesh. Various nice ones out there that are reliable AND allow easy transfer of strong signal as you move around your house.

[@TopHomeowner]

It's been a while since I've used a mesh network so I'm sure they've improved. Not everything can be hard wired and sometimes installing ethernet cabling isn't practical, so in those cases mesh would make sense. Appreciate the comment!

@@TopHomeowner It was also in reference to your adding an Access Point in another area. Some of these (with the right settings - 802.11r (Fast Transition)?) allow transfer of connection when you walk around and if not then you may need to toggle your wifi on and off. My tech geek kid experienced this.

[@Scott-sm9nm]

You touched on this but I figuring out the best places to put your AP (or mesh satellites). Perhaps on either side of the house and centered in the basement. Maybe where you have your TV and your computer so that you can hardwire there as well. I think I have it figured out for the next house but it took some brainstorming.

[@TopHomeowner]

Yes, I'd make sure both ends of the house are covered and then add one in the middle if you still have coverage issues. I have an outdoor rated AP in my attic on the far side of my house to help with coverage in my garage, and to extend the signal to some of my wifi lights that are outside.

@@TopHomeowner Good point on the garage as I was putting one in the high in pantry between the kitchen and the garage to that area (car OTA updates). High toward the ceiling because it would then be above the cabinets and the fridge that would be on the other side of the wall :) --- Also great point about outside IoT devices as I have some wifi cameras outside too.
