Recommendation for WiFI extender

[Adrienne Chalmers]

Simon

Sorry I’ve been a bit slow with this. 

I think I should have said nodes rather than points.

Here is a link to an article on T3 about mesh wifi systems which might be of 
some interest:-

https://www.t3.com/features/mesh-networking-router-showdown-6-top-systems-compete-to-take-your-network-to-the-next-level?utm_content=buffere8cd5_medium=social_source=twitter.com_campaign=buffer
 


Obviously, I haven’t used the other types it mentions, but it seems pretty 
clear that the Google Wifi system is pretty easy to set up and use.

The associated app will even give you some recommendations as to where to put 
your nodes to get the best results. For example, I had two nodes, one on my 
desk plugged into my router and one was in my kitchen It kept telling me to 
shift that one nearer the one tied to the router and I got a much better signal 
in my kitchen even though I moved the node further away.

The key thing about these mesh systems is that each unit Doesn’t dissipate the 
signal, it amplifies it.

Hi

 I had terrible trouble with my home network until I got a couple of Google 
Wifi points. I had tried all sorts of different extenders, but the mesh type 
really does the job.

The app will also give you reports on-the status of your network, internet 
connection and which devices are on and off line. I think there is a 24 hour 
support line, but I’ve never used it.

Regards

Adrienne

Recommendation for WiFI extender

[Eric Caron]

Hi fellow listers,

I’ve been adding a lot of devices to my home network. about 7 Amazon 
devices,4 IOS devices and 3 computers.  Currently I have a older time capsule 
router and it seems to be keeping up with most of my needs.  Still my demands 
keep growing.  I’d also like a little more distance.
Can folks recommend a wireless extender that I would be able to set up 
independently as a blind mac user?  Also fairly simple.  It seems like the 
prices range widely.  

This is a new area for me to learn about so I look forward to tips and 
specific device recommendations.

Best,

Eric Caron
