I tried powerline extenders which worked but were noisy, and then wireless extenders which were unreliable. I installed Google mesh a couple years ago and it fixed my connectivity issues. Not sure of other mesh solutions but Google mesh comes with a simple app that allows you to test, control and also prioritize devices so if you are competing for bandwidth with other devices on your network, you can remove any contention by prioritizing your streamer.
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?
