![]() These are consumer routers either aimed at a small apartment or mesh WiFi which is only done if you cannot wire your house properly. The best router that money can buy is NOT going to have WiFi built into it. Pick up 2 or 3 of the cheapest routers that support it and build your own mesh network super easy. You can get a onemesh capable router for ~30-40.00 on Amazon. I bought the axe 16000 hoping it would give me a larger Wi-Fi radius around my home but it didn’t however, tp link has one mesh built into its entire product stack in the last few years. If those lines are really old and can’t move data then buy the axe 11000 or 16000 and use onemesh. You said you have some older cat cable runs already in the walls? I’d test those and if they’re able to carry gig speed(which most cables in the last 10 years can) then just buy a nice router, the 16000 if you want and run it up those lines and connect APs on the other end. ![]() Having my editing PC and NAS connected via 10g has been a huge bonus without having to go out and buy an expensive 10g switch. It’s a great product for me because it’s got a 2 port 10g network switch built in and that is an amazing feature built into one unit. I have the Tp link axe300(axe16000) and despite its bleeding edge tech it’s range is a disappointment. Providers typically give you either a modem, or a combined single device modem/router/AP. router: routes the traffic, typically also includes a firewall to block unwanted traffic.It's intended for anywhere from homes, SOHO, to enterprise gear. This whole setup I outlined does not include a router, you can keep whatever you have, just disable the WiFi.Īll the devices listed above are TP-Link - they have this product line called Omada which allows for central management. Although TL-SG2210P is more capable and not much more expensive. For your needs and the setup outlined above, I'd recommend TL-SG2008P. PoE is power over Ethernet, which means you send power using the same cable as data. It also allows for centralized management. Strictly speaking, the controller is not required, but it enables support fast switching between networks when moving around the house. If those cables can support gigabit network speeds (and they probably can, unless they got damaged), and the outlets are spread out around the house, this is your best bet.Īssuming the price isn't too high for you, I'd get an access point per floor (EAP-610 or EAP-650), either power them with the included adapter or with PoE, and a controller - OC200. What I would consider mesh uses wireless transfers to move the data between points. Rest of this comment explains all that.įirst, let's address mesh: it's become a buzzword, and what I'd consider a classic AP, nowadays is sold as a "mesh with wired backhaul". If that 2000 square ft is total, then one access point per floor should do the trick.
