Does Linksys still have their velop line? Back when I rented I used to use them as wireless bridges, at the time they were way faster than my Internet was… I believe they handle jussst about gig at 900mbit or so. On

I’d use them to jump network segments around the house, they worked great.

They’d use a dedicated 5g backhaul ( extra wifi radios ) to link them together exactly like mesh networks work. Or you could plug devices in to their Ethernet port and the whole network was accessable.

I used to use the 3 wifi pack, and id put one on each floor directly above the other on each floor of my 3000 sq foot home at the time.

I’m pretty sure it was expensive, but most mesh systems will work this way, and usually the two radios do not interfere with each other so speeds were good.

I also bought actual wireless bridges, maybe tplink, and they were fine but they’d randomly crash after heavy BitTorrent use back then, velop was always solid for me, but now I use unifi dream machine se, and drill holes so I can get 10gig with my 2 gig fiber

I’ve also run cat 6 along the outside of the houses I rented with black plenum cable, I’d cut the coax I didn’t need, and run my Ethernet outside, for about 6 years zero problems, since I my area, cable and satellite guys did it. So I’d use their plate.
