mesh extender EX6250: using mesh in wired AP mode
I am planning to buy the mesh extender EX6250, and the question is about the mesh function in access point mode. I want to set up a couple of these around the external walls of the house and connect...
but it seems they cannot be used for outdoor.
I just checked now, they are all AC3000, so very expensive. a single unit would cost in my country € 300 ($330). I need cheaper mesh extenders. max $ 100-120/unit
the ex6250 isn't an outdoor unit either.
And you can run them in AP mode but they won't function as mesh. You'll be able to set them with the same ssid but they'll tend to be "sticky". Meaning they won't roam as easily.
Just an fyi.
