Having used eero and UniFi I have to vote UniFi. The eero system and my HomeKit devices didn’t seem to agree with each other and would constantly go offline. Haven’t had a single blip since I moved to

Ubiquiti is good.. But wouldn't call them the best mesh...the Asus BQ16 would likely outperform any ubiquiti system that has a wireless backhaul.

Amplifi Alien has quite good reviews and reputation, but it's quite expensive for even a two-node system. I prefer not to buy systems with one router + one satellite

Lots of things to be answered before you pick. 1. How large is your home? (SF) 2. Single Story or 2 story? 3. How far from your office will your modem be? 4. Where do the current dead spots exist? 5.

Don’t spend a minute looking at consumer grade systems

A mesh system that allows wired backhaul. Works great.

Deco mesh systems are easy to set up and solved my coverage problems. Separate SSIDs for guests and for IoT. I’ve been running my TVs on WiFi for ages without problems. Maybe an 8K TV… Backhauling wi

Just to be clear here, several points: * **Firmware favors direct connection.** If you have deployed mesh-capable devices (not using long-range mode), the firmware will strongly favor a direct conne

r/homeassistantneutral1

Is the system connecting with normal range zwave or long-range z wave? If they are in long range mode, they won't ever mesh

Ubiquiti once again is a brand and if you choose the wrong models, then you are going to be blindly saying Ubiquiti is rubbish...
