Scott,
I’m meant to have gigabit internet for my home but it’s a joke here
in nz,
I’m lucky if I get half a gigabit for a download.
As for wifi I’m currently using a fritzbox as my router modem,
I’d love to have faster internet / wifi but hey lifes a bitch and
we’re getting screwed by providers in nz.

Hey Scot,
Yeah, it's pretty cool. We have the gigabyte option here, too, but
we didn't get it for our rental house. We're thinking about it for
our permanent home, which we'll be moving into in July. Good to know
the limits of the Airport. I was wondering what its cut-off point was.
Cheers,
Donna

Ah I love being on a fiber network. They just rolled out full
gigabit where I live and I upgraded while cutting my bill in
half. I have so much on WiFi now that I really do need a
distributed system. Your airport is good up to about 200
megabits. If your service will be faster than that it’s time to
update.

Thanks for sharing this, Scott. Now that I have the option
of a fast fiber connection, I've been wondering if it's time
to replace our airport extreme. this sounds like an
interesting option.
Cheers,

Hi Simon,
The way it seems to work is you connect via 1 or 2
gigabit ports to your network. Either by placing the
master unit in router mode and having it handle the whole
internet connection or in bridge mode where it provides
the access point function but you provide your own
routing hardware. (This will be my config). Once
connected you start an app on your phone (iPhone in my
case but both platforms are supported) and you configure
the first plume device. Then you power up and add each
new device to the mesh. You don’t run physical wires to
anything but the controller or master access point. The
rest use backhaul channels to build the mesh. Once
you’ve added all the access points you want, you get a
box of 6 for $320 US, they connect to a cloud application
where the mesh starts to optimize itself. The meshes can
either direct connect back to the control access point
and or hop from one to another if that’s more optimal.
The cloud software and access points will steer the
clients to the best frequency and access point based on
it’s location with in the mesh. IF 2.4 ghz suddenly
becomes more speedy you’ll drop to 2.4 and then be
steered back up to 5 ghz if that returns to normal. Also
uses tactics to isolate you from your neighbors and so
forth. Cool stuff. Google is also working in this space
as is Netgear and Niro. Plume seems to rate the highest
and perform the best in testing from the reviews I’ve
read though.
Cool stuff. Mesh WiFi was usually the stuff of big
enterprises, nice to have it in the home now.

Hi Scott,
When You test drive these blume wifi devices I’m
interested to know how they go
They sound bloody interesting
I’m wondering though how you get them connected to
your network.
