Surprised to find this @ 20% off for the last Mesh WiFi 6E. Was only about 4 left, but more stock coming apparently.
CamelCamelCamel.
Inb4 hold for wifi7
Cheers OP got 100 for my resort
My orbi system just has the one satallite and it works very well in a double brick house with internal brick walls over its 580m2 and 9 rooms, even reaches out to the shed 50 metres away. The above system must be made for massive area.
Consider yourself an exception to the norm and very lucky.
I need 4 devices for anything I've used in a town house.
A single Unifi U6-LR will easily cover a "normal" 4 bedroom family home if 2.4GHz is OK towards the edges of the building.
I only added an additional U6-Lite at the back of the house because I wanted 5GHz everywhere.
If you need 4 APs to cover a townhouse then you must have something difficult like metal in the walls, or you have some major airspace contention (like many many visible neighbouring WiFi networks).
Floor to tile ceiling in 3 bathrooms and a laundry.
24m deep house, roughly 210m2.
I can't even get stable 2.4 with 1 downstairs pt in several rooms.
Have used all sorts of high end gear, including 2 different Orbi Options.
No metal in walls. Wifi drops SIGNIFICANTLY going diagonally up. Directly above is good. Anything off, huge drop.
Minimal wifi impact around me too.
I'm in a townhouse and use 2 much smaller orbi devices without an issue. it's all about placement.
Many mesh devices have around 2500sq feet coverage per point in optimal conditions.
That's around 8.5m from the Device. WITHOUT OBSTRUCTIONS.
My house is over 20 plus metres deep on each floor. There is NO way 1 device will ever cover a single floor in my situation with half a dozen plus walls, including tiles… Even if it was centred.
That's easily minimum 4 points required in my situation.
If i had this much to blow, i would get a ubiquiti system professionally installed in the ceiling
Wow some expensive kit. Unifi have Wifi 6E mesh access points for about $600 each. Pair with a Unifi Dream Router and it'll outlast the Orbi and give you infinite amounts of configuration options.
UDR is around $400
3x U6E APs $1800
4 node prosumer mesh wifi setup for the same price as a consumer grade Orbi kit
This is dumb, you absolutely don't need to spend $2200 for excellent whole house WiFi.
This has made my ADSL feel super fast
6E is bleeding edge. You'll pay through the nose for it and yes three node will cover several hundred sq meters. The 2 node wifi 6 is excellent bang for buck at 1/3rd the price and will do 99% of people at this time.
I wouldn't pay too much on routers, as Australia's broadband internet ranked fourth slowest in OECD.
I'm on Gigabit Fibre.
I also use Network Internally.
I'll do what I think is necessary for my situation.
Go ahead mate. Your situation, your money, your choice.
FYI, Singtel's 10 Gbps plan is $192/mth with free AX5400 Wifi6 mesh routers. While in Australia, 10 Gbps plan is $1371/mth.
That's great. Don't speak for others.
Your situation. Your money. Your choice.
Internet speed is irrelevant when you also require internal transfers.
@scuderiarmani: "I wouldn't pay too much on routers."
My10Gbps internal network among my desktops and the Synology NAS are deployed under a 16Gbps network switch, which is about $150.
Iphone bandwidth max 866 Mbps, which works very well on my 3 Gbps routers.
I declear I never speak for scuderiarmani or anyone else, especially who don't know network switch, or on a 10 Gbps business plan, or 10 Gbps mobile devices (5G max 1 Gbps).
@tedzozb: *declare
iPhone, lol
There's cutting edge wifi tech.
Please link your $150 16Gbps switch.
Here's one, $33k

Your situation. Your money. Your choice.
@scuderiarmani: Do you always get angry to random comments?
S1700, Dt7024, st1008f, 5008fl etc. If you don't understand English or network engineering, I wouldn't declare or explain anymore.
@tedzozb: I'm waiting for the $150 16Gbps network switch, clearly you have the problem of not understanding English. But I'm glad you can be taught as you've learnt to spell declare already.
Like you said….
Your situation. Your money. Your choice.
Don't tell people what they do and don't need because of Australia's AVERAGE internet speed. I get 22 times that average.
@scuderiarmani: "S1700, Dt7024, st1008f, 5008fl etc."
"I wouldn't pay too much on routers, as Australia's broadband internet ranked fourth slowest in OECD."
Which word speaks for others? Did I say "you"?.
"Don't speak for others." is, however, rude, vulgar, and baseless. BTW snowflake may develop to Persecutory delusion.
@scuderiarmani: I didn't say it is new. Do your own research. I can provide paid advice if you ask politely.
@tedzozb: Stop making up lies and trying to change the topic when you are caught out. You said a 16Gbps Switch. Under $150. And actually, that's all the hardware in your network apparently, so I'll need the router in that budget too champ.
16 port Gigabit Switches aren't 16GBps mate. Best instead of running with it and making a bigger fool outta yourself, you just admit your mistake and obvious lack of knowledge in the area.
Done wasting my time with you.
LOL. @scuderiarmani was defending the wrong one. She/he was replying to Nom's This is dumb, you absolutely don't need to spend $2200 for excellent whole house WiFi.
Sounds fair. Cute girl/boy.
Cheers OP got 5 for my mansion
