Upgrade to M9 - Question about using mix of eithernet/wireless backhaul?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I am in the need to update my home network and am planning to move to an M9 mesh solution. Currently I have 3 different wifi networks that I constantly need to swtich between as I move around the buildings. My cable service comes into the steel outbuild where my office is and I have a single CAT6 cable running to the house which is 150' away. With my current equipment I don't think there is a way to have a single wifi network throughout the property.
I know I can set up the Main M9 as router in my outbuild and then use eithernet backhaul to go to the M9 AP in the basement. My question is if I can use wireless backhaul to connect the M9 AP in the basement with the M9 AP on the main floor?
Is there any reason to try to use the Archer 2300 with a mesh setup? I don't think this is possible.
Hi, the proposed layout will work and the main floor AP could be wirelessly connected to the basement AP.
And I have a little question here, the 150’ here is 150 ft, right?
For the Archer C2300, the following layout is also worth a try:
Since the outbuilding is quite far enough, SSID 1 and SSID 2 would be less overlapped.
And the SSID 1 and SSID 2 in the layout could be named the same if you want.
Then you will have one spare M9 in the House to locate where there is a Wi-Fi dead spot.
