Title: MESH WiFi
Post by: GrumpyYoungMan on 31 Dec 2020, 05:07:07 am
I have a few WiFi dead spots in my house so...

Would a MESH WiFi setup fix the issue? Also is a MESH setup majorly different to just using a powerline WiFi extended?

Hi there GrumpyYoungMan,

personally, I don't use WiFi but then
I am very old, as is my p.c. and router,
and I have no real need for it when I
move away from my desk.  8)

Unlike me, though, you may find this link...

...to be mildly interesting.  ???

You don't have to that.  :)

Instead you could save yourself a lot of money
and effort if you just stopped trying to use the
few WiFi dead spots in your house.  ;D

Personally If I could I would!

But my daughters Smart TV is in the middle of it! 🤪😢😢

...Smart...

Ah, there's the real problem.  :o

I've always considered "Smart" to be an
advertising word that has been freely
used to separate the unwary from their
hard earned cash.
