For the record: I ended up putting an EAP225 in pretty much the same spot the RE200 range extender had been halfway between the 4th floor and 3d floor--it is now in mesh mode with the Omada...

Thanks so much for detailed feedback and info. In sum: mesh mode cuts bandwidth in half for 5Ghz if the mesh access points are also used for clients, because their backhaul channel is necessarily the...

Hi JSchnee21: I do have FIOS and I don't have coax up to the 4th floor. My aim to have bulletproof connectivity of about 50 - 100 mbps. I'm not sure I need 80 mhz channels for that. My 5 Ghz radio is...

All the clients exclusively use 5 Ghz band, since I have found that the 2.4 Ghz is impossibly congested from the WiFi of neighbors. There are only 4 workers here with about 16 total clients. I am...

Thanks R1D2. What do you think about EAP245s in mesh mode? I suppose that's sort of like a repeater. The repeater location is closer to the hardwired access point than the client, so I expect it...

I have a tight spot on the fourth floor of my small rowhouse-based office in dense and noisy downtown Philadelphia. The 2.4 Ghz spectrum is useless because of crowding, so I am relying solely on 5...
