WiFi Coverage for Large Home

[Lsube0555]

Linksys velop, is what I have in my 4000sq ft house two floors I only have two towers and have no issues with my wireless cameras outside in the front or anything been maintence free since setup plugs in current modem

Does the Google mesh system have a modem built in or do you still need a modem to pair up with them? Really like the looks of the Ubiquiti system linked below, however they are access points and not wireless mesh pucks. Not an issue if I have any kind of Ethernet system in the new house, but I won’t know until we move in next week.

Ubiquiti Networks UniFi AP Enterprise WiFi System UAP-3 (Pack of 3) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EORRBW..._17ksDbJFSZAC6

My main unit (it comes with three) is connected directly to my DSL modem. If you are running a router, or switch behind your modem, it could be connected there, but I simplified mine as much as possible when I installed mine. It uses an ethernet connection for the main one, and the other two (or more) will connect to it wirelessly.

I had the same issue. 4200 sf single story house.
Installed a 3-pack eero brand mesh setup.
This is what Geek Squad recommended.
Works like a champ throughout the entire house.

That’s a monster single story. I think my footprint is only around 2,000 square feet, so if you can get coverage across a 4200 square foot ranch I shouldn’t have any issues. Was concerned about cameras/speakers outside. Sounds like most folks are happy with all the major brands.

We went with Eero. 1 hub and 3 beacons.

Similar size single story house to a few of the other guys here. Get 100% signal strength at 5Ghz anywhere in the house. Can even hang out around the pool area with good coverage.

Get google mesh. Very easy to setup and works flawlessly.

Google WiFi here with 3 pucks in a large home. It’s outstanding. The app is the most user friendly app I’ve used.

We’ve had good luck with google Wi-Fi as well. Very easy to use.

Have 4000sqft metal home and 3500sqft metal shop 150-200ft apart. I am going to need to get an external antenna for the house and then wifi and extenders I guess. I don't know much about this stuff.

Meant to add; Google can kiss my ***. I’ll do everything I can to NOT support them.

You can use a mesh system with your setup, you’ll just need to run a cable between buildings.
