    Hi folks,

    I am looking at ways of improving the wifi coverage in my house.

    I was looking at the google mesh system and wanted to know if it was any good or if there was any other comparable systems available.

    I already have an extender in the house to cover a blackspot but it can be hit and miss.

    I have an eir router and an extender already.

    I have it working with Virgin (router in modem mode) and it's been excellent. The app is simple to use and intuitive, yet it has some advanced features if you need them. The ability to remote check your status is a big plus for me with 30 devices always connected. I use 4 points in my house, all tethered to my 1Gbps backhaul CAT5e in the house. I've never once had an issue with coverage or speeds, its very reliable.

    Newer points have Google Home speakers built in (I have gen1) which also integrates with the Home app (mine don't) but I'm ok with keeping that part seperate as I have a Google speaker in each room anyway.
