Hello everyone,

 

I am looking for a way to cover my apartment by mesh-WiFi with a static LAN cables to some points such as TV/PC/laptop/Camera..

 

I thought it would be easy but I got confused right now when I saw the One-mesh solutions works with a single router then with either a RE or PLC.. although I had reviewed DECO mesh which doesn't fit me as I mentioned that I need about 7 LAN cables and each DECO have only 2 ports , one of them will be consumed to be wired 

 

Note : My country still runs internet by DSL 

 

My plan was : Getting my One-mesh compatible DSL router connected then sending 4 LAN cables from it as follows :

 

2 LAN : to another two routers/access points to make it Wired not on wireless connection

2 LAN : to 2 TV

 

---------------

Then I will use the 2 other routers to send other Ethernet cables from it to rooms, 2 from each router.

 

I thought I would be able to run Onemesh on my network ( as all of them will be Onemesh compatible) but I found this in the FAQ which made me confused 

 

Q10. Can two OneMesh™ routers build a Mesh network?

A10. No. The OneMesh™ router can only be combined with OneMesh™ RE or OneMesh™ PLC to build Mesh networks.

Hi, Thank you very much for your time and patience.

For OneMesh, it is right that the OneMesh™ router can only be combined with OneMesh™ RE or OneMesh™ PLC to build Mesh networks.

If all routers also support EasyMesh, it allows to use two EasyMesh™ routers to establish a Mesh network.

 

 

Actually, I think Deco Mesh systems would work better for your case.

If you need extra Ethernet ports, we could add an unmanaged switch behind the Deco, for example:

Best regards.
