Re: [AFMUG] Mesh whole house wifi

[Jesse DuPont]

The Calix solution is good. I've also tested recent routers/mesh add-ons from Xyxel and Comtrend and they were also good (and easy). They're all remotely configurable via their own or 3rd party TR-069. In the end, we chose to use Ubiquit Unifi AC Lite or AC Mesh units with our normal router (with WiFi disabled on the router). We already have a Unifi Controller and we get great visibility and troubleshooting insight on in-home WiFi conditions. We charge $14/mo for adding on "whole home" (we call it Immersive WiFi). Otherwise, if the WiFi from the router itself works we don't do anything else. If you don't need remote configurability, the Linksys Velop or Google Home WiFi systems also seem to be good.

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
