Looking for help with mesh system
« on: June 28, 2022, 02:33:28 PM »
Hello.  I am looking to put in a mesh system to cover 3 floors of about 5k sq'.  But, I want a system whereby each unit in the mesh has an ethernet port, but that I can put content filtering such as opendns on that port. And for an affordable price, sau the $150-250 range.  Any ideas?

Is this compatible with optimum ? What would I need to get together with this in order to set up my optimum WiFi ? Right now I’m paying $10 for optimum provided router/modem. I’d like to get rid of that fee and upgrade the connectivity. (And use up my $400 dell credits while at it.)

I'm not sure what you're paying for (the "$10 for optimum provided router/modem"), but this Orbi AX4200 (and most other routers & WiFi systems) isn't a modem, so it will still need an ISP modem before it.

You can filter the whole entire network; which includes the ethernet ports.

My office runs on this.  My office did not have any etherner ports. Instead of creating them I simply plugged this in.   When I do a speed test it comes up that it's extra fast and can stream in HD multiple devices.  That's how strong this internet is

Any recommendations for good mesh system for home use? A friend ordered the tp-link system and told me it's terrible.

I've heard good things about Orbi
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

If you have something for a few years and your not sure it's working, perhaps try something else ;D
