    Advice needed - significant decrease in speed with mesh network

    About 5 years ago, I deployed a Netgear Orbi mesh to my house. It wasn't the greatest solution but it worked for my needs. I have thick concrete walls and have a larger property. To give you an idea, it would drop from 300 mbps download speed to 100 mbps once I left my room where the main...

    Zenwifi UT9 Dual WAN questions

    Have any of you tried to implement the Dual WAN feature of the routers for failover or load balancing? Are you able to connect the ISP on different endpoints or does it have to be on a single endpoint? I asked Asus and they said that they cannot find it anywhere in the literature if it can be...

    Wireless mesh network system for LARGE home?

    I need to build up a wireless network for a very large home - 16k sq ft if not a bit more. I know I can use Asus routers and AiMesh to cover the entire property like the owner wants, TP-Link and just put the endpoints everywhere, and so many others. The property is single story, with...

    I have a friend that has an Orbi RBK50 with a RBK40 satellite added to the system. She had her nephew install 2 Amplifi Meshpoint HDs to the network. Over time, her Internet speeds have deteriorated from being able to stream media in her terrace to it freezing all the time. She has asked me...

    WiFi 6 Mesh questions

    I am considering replacing my Linksys Velop mesh system with a new WiFi6 system. In your opinion, which system do you think gives you the best bang for the buck? Next question - do you think WiFi 6 is worth the premium over AC at present? Again, 2 opinions desired. My house is a 2200 sq...

    A few issues...

    1 - I had my DS1819+ working on the satellite of a Velop mesh network. All of the sudden, I couldn't access it. I called into Synology and we found that it just couldn't use the satellite at all - even though it previously did. As soon as I plugged it into the main router, it worked fine...

    Synology availability?

    I just went to Amazon.com to buy a DS1517+ and there really isn't much available at the moment compared to a few months ago - 3 sellers, all used or extremely overpriced in comparison to the list; I used to see new ones for <$700 and now the cheapest new one is going for almost $1000. Is...

    "Best" custom firmware for a R7000 that will work with NordVPN?

    What firmware would you recommend to put on a R7000 that will work with NordVPN? We need to setup a router to connect directly to them instead of on the individual systems.

    Mesh network for 24 apartment complex...

    I came across an issue for a customer that looks like a no-win situation for them. They reported having frequent disconnects or extremely low speed when they are able to connect. Here is what I found: Everyone has their own ISP service in the complex, all are using their own routers and it...

    Something to use in place of an Amplifi Mesh Point?

    I was all set to get an Amplifi Mesh Point and went onto Amazon.com to get one today when I found it is out of stock and the delivery date is 3 to 6 months. I cannot wait that long. Newegg.com didn't have it in stock either. I do not want to use an Asus product. This needs to work with an...
