Optimal AP One AX qty and placement

[stego]

I had Eero Pros in the past as well and really liked the plug and play easy setup.

That said, Peplink APs support mesh but I don’t believe supports hardwired backhaul like Eero.

The benefit with Peplink mesh is extending your network wirelessly.

Wi-Fi Mesh Support: Overview and Howto

Now that we have both AP and Router Beta/RC firmware with Wi-Fi Mesh support, I wanted to walk you through the finer points of how to use this. Intro to Mesh What is Wi-Fi Mesh and why would I use it? Wi-Fi mesh will let you take one of our Wi-Fi enabled routers or APs that now support Mesh and wirelessly expand the WI-Fi coverage using other Peplink APs. You can use Ethernet cables to add more APs in other areas. This is nothing new, we have had AP controller support for years to allow manag…

So you’d have to hardwire an AP close to your office ISP demarc then mesh the second AP somewhere in the middle of the home.

Rule of thumb is mesh point should be half way between your source and destination.

But hardwired APs will perform better. But more labor involved in running POE cables.

If you can do a site survey of your wifi signal strength with 1 AP centrally located vs 2 might give you better idea on placement and quantity.

I use inSSIDer and Netspot on Windows.
