How did you set up Wi-Fi coverage in your house?I can't figure out how I'm supposed to install access points in all the rooms between 3 floors without making holes in the floor/walls everywhere. It's a thick layer of concrete.
>>107469792Use whatever brand that support mesh.
it turned out 2 APs cover my entire house + the garden very well at 5GHz. im not gonna draw a picture so you'll just have to use your imagination based on my crude description.AP1 is upstairs on the windowsill on the far edge of the house. covers a part of downstairs very well. AP2 is downstairs on the kitchen windowsill facing the garden. both are set to 40MHz wide bands, each with a SSID in both U-NII1 and U-NII3, because I think roaming works better within the same grouping and because fuck DFS.downstairs ethernet braches off the "core" switch and is pulled through the same hole my provider stuck the fibre through. it goes up into the upstairs bedroom through a permanent gap in the shitty window frame. from here it goes into a switch and branches out 2 ways: one daisy chains via yet another switch to the other 2 upstairs rooms, one of which hosts AP1, while the other branch goes back outside, along the roof of the kitchen extension and goes back in through a vent purely to connect AP2.
>>107469792You don'tUse multimode fibre for everything, poorfag.
>>107469792Mesh networked APs. Problems are that it might halve theoretical speed, fuck with IOT devices and require some fine tuning and careful placement. In your situation with concrete walls you still might have some trouble if the uplink between the non-wired to the wired AP is blocked off. Wired is much, MUCH better.
just run cables hanging from your walls schizo style
>>107470147>>107470634But how would you lay the wire?
>>107472683Behind the walls, using a wire puller.
>>107470634mesh is dogshit, just pull cables and use fabric aps>but I love in a bug box in (yuropooria)nmp
>>107469792I just have my ISP supplied all-in-one router/AP upstairs. Most client devices that I care about are in that room and can connect with ethernet or line of sight wifi.The signal downstairs is shit but still good enough to browse the web and watch youtube on my TV, so no need to improve it.
I live in a sad little apartment so I didn't have much choice besides wherever the coax landed.I could run cable but that would require me to go in the attic space and likely use those fucking long auger bits with the pool balls to drill holes through headers and at that point I might as well install ceiling boxes for ceiling fans/lights among other fixes this place needs

>>107476678>increase power on your main APHuh?
>>107469792HomePlug devices such as these bad boys which send an ethernet signal directly across the power mainshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H74VKZU/
>>107469792Run cables along doorways / cable channels in the hallways or something? Maybe you can make holes in the door frames or something, so it's easier to drill? It's hard to say without knowing exactly what your house is like and what options you have.
>>107469792Is there any existing wiring in the walls that could be reused?If you have coax for cable/satellite you might be able to use MoCA. If you have phone extensions, check the wiring... there's always a chance it's cat5 or something.If you have wiring but it's not suitable (like untwisted phone extensions) then you could try using it as a drawstring for suitable wires.Or powerline as another anon suggested. YMMV depending on your electric wiring.

Use coax
