Enterprise Mesh on LARGE Residence
Hello, I'm looking for an enterprise solution for home use. The sky is the limit. I would like to create a mesh network for a home with an area of 15,000 square meters, approximately 20,000 square fe...
I would opt for installing a wired network, with a central router, PoE++ switch, multiple Wireless Access points, optional some additional easy reachable outlets eg. in offices. Everything managed locally and over the cloud using https://www.netgear.com/business/services/insight/ for easy remote support and maintenance.
Stay far away from pure wireless Mesh systems - even if these devices allow some kind of wired backhaul - please design and implement some real networking instead.
I'd like to use wired connections but i'm limited. This is expensive residence.
We are using right now; FG + Fortiswitch POE + FAP's but we would like to change it for some more simply.
Anyway, these access points have not enough coverage and I would like to use something more powerful.
I heard that Netgear has some cool solutions.
Coverage can be enhanced by placing more access points - what requires cabling again.
Give them some time, WiFi 7 APs will certainly become available in Q1/2024. Yes, Netgear has excellent selection of switches and wireless access points ready to be deployed including Insight Management. Even the so new WiFi 7 router and the WiFi 7 based high-end Mesh system can only perform on a solid base - made up on MultiGig and 10 Gb switches.
Not much to argue against Fortinet - excellent enterprise grade firewall routers, switches, and wireless access points. Undoubted more complex to manage than Netgear Insight - at a much higher price point.
