OT: WiFi extenders?

[Stinger92860]

I have an Orbi Mesh, main box and one extender. Works great. My problem is Optimum.

I have xfinity high speed. bought the cable modem, the nest wifi mesh with a router and three nodes, and a network switch. Have cat6 running to a few rooms serviced through the lan closet, a WiFi node and the router downstairs and two nodes up. Internet is overflowing. Had the kids and me on zoom all day with the wife watching a streaming service on more than one occasion with no issues. Was reluctant to get rid of cable tv but when I did I was ready, can get live streaming in all the rooms needed with no boxes and no fuss. Paid for itself within a year.

I plug the eero network into the Xfinity router and just have everyone connect to the eero.

Router or modem... Likely its a router modem combo, if so you are running the xfinity router you have to run it in bridge mode or the eero wouldn't work. If it isn't a combo and it's just a modem then this makes sense.

Combo - and I just have the eero plugged into it.

what did it cost. I'm seeing prices way out of range for me. My limit is a couple hundred dollars.

Do they work? Recs? Installed a spotlight cam for our backyard and the signal isn’t great.

Junk. Just had my tech buddy install

I’m telling u the deco 4 with 3 nodes for 125 is a great deal.

All you need to do is when you get the mesh system is make the system name and password the same and all the devices in your house will automatically connect to it.

'Great idea.
