Which product do i need?! Have BT Wi-Fi, can't get it all around the house
Hi I have 900mb BT FTTP and the standard BT router that comes with that. I live in a 2 year old 4 bed detached, not enormous and certainly not thick walls and am having real trouble getting both spe...
Either way, if establishing some network cable(s) form the router is feasible, there are much better (and less expensive) solutions available than anything else..
If you need just one wireless access point, look into Netgear's Essential Wireless Access Point models WAX204 WiFi 6/802.1ax or the WAC124 802.11ac. These devices offer multiple Gigbit Ethernet ports to connect loca devices in that access point area.
If you intend to deploy multiple wireless access points, head to Netgear Wireless Access Points and filter for "Mesh" - this will give you options on WAC5xx (802.11ac) and WAX6xx (WiFi 6/802.11ax) - ideally powered by a PoE resp. PoE+ switch, a non-managed can be sufficient, however a cloud/remote manageable one makes it nicer, and set-up everything with Netgear Insight.
Budget allowing, wnd when doing more than one access point I'd go with the Insight solution on WiFi 6 - How to Setup a Basic Network | NETGEAR Insight - just use the [Scan Network] as shown wiht the ReadyNAS is the most easy way. Disadvantage of PoE is that you need two cables to the room where you want additional wired devices by adding a small switch - so plan wisely.
That's great, thank you.
