Terrific, really appreciate the advice. Where do you see it for £118? And does your signal have a lot of concrete to get through?

You need to add in basket and then go to check out

Yes if you are gaming, if you are simply looking for decent wifi to do calls etc around the house it is over the top.....the mesh wifi works perfect in that situation

Over the top in what way?

The cost is practically the same as similar items posted.

Sorry for taking this thread off topic

I'm not understanding why 100+ per unit is working out so much "over the top" expense for basically enterprise grade wireless

limnam

3 lr's on amazon is 270stg

the netgear mesh is 299.

So we have gone all this way to get back to what I posted originally


If you are gaming etc then worth investing, if not then other mesh wifi is perfect for 130 odd quid


P.S. try running a bit of cable in that ceiling :-) might take longer than 20 mins

No bother at all.

They can also go on walls etc. so you could run the cable outside the house and come in on the wall etc

I don't game very often but I've had enough shiote wifi over the years.

I guess it also depends on the speed of your connection and local requirements are. e.g fast internal transfers etc.

After trying many I just wouldn't waste time or money on anyting else.

Especially if you have Siro/FTTH

I've read that that deal is UK customers only. Anyone here actually get it?

I got hue bulbs, hue outdoor lighting, a longer ladder to reach one of my light fixtures that will also work as a scaffold for gardening and doing my gutters, a ms surface and accessories, meaning I now have four computers of similarish specs, micro sd cards, child locks, echo dots.

I picked up https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ubiquiti-Networks-UAP-AC-LITE-Access-Point/dp/B016K4GQVG?ref_=mw_olp_product_details during the warehouse sale for £58, "like new", for anyone looking for a good WiFi AP.

Just need to figure out where it goes And then will stop taking this thread off on a tangent and open a new one to see what’s the best system but thinking I’ll add 3 APs

Picked up a rake of "as new" with the 20% from the warehouse, all now arrived and all literally as new with damaged packaging, good savings

Shefwedfan

Any idea if this is good value?

Just a heads up... some items you might have purchased as a "Deal Price" on Amazon consequently drop in price to a REAL deal price the next day, so it's worth double checking your past orders this week against the current price.

I got onto Chat and was credited back the difference, but it only works if the item was sold by Amazon.

I picked up this a few months ago. I was keen on the Google 3-device mesh but it was still full price. Perfectly happy with these. We're in a 3 floor 1400sq ft semi (lots of competing signals in the estate). I have a cable run from the ISP's modem/router/wifi in the loft to the ground floor. The wired one connects wirelessly to the one in the kitchen (which also covers our small garden) and one directly above it on the first floor. So there are 4 access points throughout the house on every floor with strong coverage everywhere. I average 50+ Mbps (240 when wired) throughout the house.

I have those setup in my place, my main issue with them is that the "roaming" takes about 30+ seconds to reconnect.

That's down to your device, not the mesh. I have a Samsung S8 and set its wifi switching to "aggressive". The slightest lag it switches to mobile data and finds a new access point seamlessly. You'll never know or notice a glitch while it switches. But with older hardware you might need to cycle the wifi on & off to get it to switch.

Thanks, I'll look it up sometime. I have the OnePlus 7pro, and wife has Samsung S10.

I'd have preferred it a little longer but I should manage. Telescopic longer ones for same price but without the stabilizing bar or space to set one.
