I have too many wifi deadspots in my house and need something different. My house has 2 stories plus basement, pre-wired for ethernet. I currently have a router on each floor and all with the same SSID and password, with one as the master and the other configured as access points. Architecture wise, it goes from cable modem -> router ->16 port switch -> two access points.
It works OK, but there are too many deadspots. I'm wondering if adding more routers is the answer, or scrapping my current system and going to a whole-house mesh system is better. Certainly that would be simpler.
Additionally, it seems to drop connection easily, even if I'm right in front of the main router. I think there is come config in the main router that isn't working right, but that's a whole other debug thing to work on. I know just enough about this stuff to get in trouble. Honestly, I am at the point where I don't want to mess with this any more - if I were to just get something like this and make everyting work reliably, I'd be happy.
