I have a pretty big house and use an asus ax 6600 mesh network for my main system. The system is on the opposite side of the house from the router. (I have the second system hard wired into my router, which also supplies signal to our computers and our video system). The main system is dead solid stable and the SQ is excellent. The only thing plugged into the mesh node is the main system, which theoretically avoids contamination that could be introduced if other items were plugged into the mesh node.
Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender
In anyone’s experience, does implementing a pricier Mesh network yield any sonic advantages to just using a good Wi-Fi extender and running a good Ethernet cable from that? From people who have very good streamer setups it seems like using a simple but good Wi-Fi extender from TP-Link etc. is more than fine. Thoughts?
