Hi
I want to move some of my computing crap to another location in the house; I want to it to join my existing network. That location has no wired ethernet capability. I want at least a throughput equal to a wired 1Gbps link, anything greater is a bonus.
I believe I have 3 options:
Questions
Many thanks!
I want to move some of my computing crap to another location in the house; I want to it to join my existing network. That location has no wired ethernet capability. I want at least a throughput equal to a wired 1Gbps link, anything greater is a bonus.
I believe I have 3 options:
- Pay someone to put an physical wired ethernet port with a run back to an existing location. This is the safest option I think but is prob the most inflexible e.g. the wife may demand the space back!
- Buy a couple of Wifi 6E devices and make one the uplink of the other with the former attached to a local switch servicing the new location, the latter wired into the main network. There would be about 3-4 metres between each device with the signal possibly going through the wall.
- Doing the same as nos 2 but with a 6E mesh. The TP-Link Deco XE75 AXE5400 price is very attractive as it stands.
Questions
- Are there any other decent options available? Powerline devices dont cut it from the testing I have done so far.
- On the mesh side, if I use the 6Ghz as the backhaul, will this work i.e. no uplink config required?
- Given the distance between the Wifi devices in options 2 and 3, any opinion on whether I'd meet my desired bandwidth throughput would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
