Hi David, Do you mind sharing a little more about how you remotely manage them? I set one up a couple of years ago for my parents and my recollection was that it worked great.

What we looked at was: Ubiquiti Amplifi – worked great in our tests, but there is no remote management option Calix Gigacenter – also worked great, but really need to commit to their cloud management. That was too big a commitment for just the few meshes we do TP Link, Google and a bunch of others – all would likely work, but most didn’t have remote management and/or a dedicated backhaul channel. Mikrotik – Not really in the same category, but wasn’t a serious consideration as it was way to complicated and under performing Netgear checked the boxes that were important to us: Readily available Remotely manageable Dedicated backhaul channel Reasonably priced Passed our simple testing Regards, David Coudron From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Clint Wiley Sent: Thursday, September 5, 2019 1:36 PM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] Mesh whole house wifi Hi all, For those of you offering ‘whole house’ wifi services, what are you deploying? We know that the one sore point for our users is wifi coverage. Our ONT vendor (zhone) has been promising a solution for almost a year now but it still isn’t ready and, quite frankly, lacks the end user management features others might have. We’d like remote management so we can assist in setting SSID’s and changing passwords, et. Thanks, Clint
