Mesh Network with VHT160/80 Support, Tri Band
Hello, I would love to have a mesh wifi 6 setup with 3 tri band client connections and using a cat6 dedicated network cable for router and nodes as my backhaul. With having the hardwire in all the nodes this should free up the third band for client use I would think or at least would be nice! Is there anything out like that or coming soon that you are aware of? I currently use a R9000 router with VHT160 (80+80MHz) channel width on 5GHz band. This router is running DDWRT since those are not standard factory settings... dont get me started on why! It works amazing with newer hardware like my Note 20 Ultra and other newer devices, except not the PS5. I read somewhere it supports up to 80MHz not 160. It can see the 5GHz network and it tries to connect but won't. I would like to have a VHT160 and a VHT80 on two 5GHz bands that way I can connect all my devices to 5GHz 80 or 160. I don't need a 2.4GHz band if I could get away with two 5GHz bands. But that isn't an option normally. Any suggestions on current mesh systems that would fit my request? Also if it matters or others care who read my post and have similar question, I currently use Google Fiber as my ISP and have a 1GB up/down speed so achieving super high wireless speeds is a must, also I have a large house so was at least looking at a 1 router with 2 node setup. Thank you for your help, Cody
