Better understanding of mesh network operationally
I recently purchased the Deco XE75 pro 6E version to upgrade my google mesh system with tthe purpose of overcoming a problem. I have a very large older house with a large part very much like rambler and then a 2 story multi-level attached at one end that goes up to a 2nd story and lower goes down a few steps.
My problem was the google mesh has difficulty reaching the length of the rambler, no matter where I positioned & testted with Network Analyzer app. From what I read/reviewed of the Deco system it seemed like a problem solved since they are all routers.
I was expecting/hoping each non-main router (point) would boost the signal to the final point and did anticipate some degradation but have been somewhat disappointed with results.
I'm not overly network savvy but did study network schemas and read reviews but perhaps I'm missing something. Can someone please provide me with some sound advice on mesh network operations.
Hi, welcome to the community.
Do you plan to wirelessly connect Deco XE75 Pro one after another, such as:
Deco XE75 Pro supports "Connection Preference" so users can manually choose the signal source of satellite Deco units.
Connection Preference: Customize Your Preferred Signal Source
So It is a great idea to extend the wireless coverage with Deco.
While considering a pure Wi-Fi Mesh Backhaul, the network speeds would degrade after one hop due to the working pattern and protocol/regulation of Wi-Fi technology, such as Why is my satellite Deco unit not getting the same speed as the main Deco?
Thank you very much and best regards.
