Hey,

 

I'm looking for a good mesh networking solution for my house and was wondering what good options there are out there, noticed the google WiFi and that lot but just wanted to know if anyone has used them and what they would recommend.

btw i live in a bungalow which is fairly large so may need a few ac points if that helps.

Thanks =P

I have set up many of them Google is good if you disable all that spying piracy stuff, personally for less money I have recommended a TP-Link SafeStream "enterprise" load balanced router with TP-Link Ac1200 access points, they have decent software to set up, install firmware updates, and fix dead zones.  The access points can be hardwired to the router or wireless from the next closest AP. If you want the simplest setup then Google or similar is a fine option, if you want more control  and features typically only found in enterprise solutions then TP-Link or Ubiquiti Unifi stuff is great value.  

 

Last I checked the router was $50, and each AP was also $50.
