So, Im thinking of buying some sort of mesh network for the summer cabin. Havent yet decided upon witch device but im looking at the Lyra, Google Wifi and the Linksys Velop, to eliminate wifi deadzones. So to my question. From what i read theese routers/nodes runs dual-band 2.4ghz and 5ghz into one …

Hi, I have several velop at home. On the administration page there is an hyperlink “CA”. it will bring you to the “advance config page” that allows you to change the SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and 5Ghz bis (if it is a tri-band). Mine are brigde to a pfsense. Works perfectly fine !!

The only time I have heard of people having an issue is during Setup. Though I think this was one specific model, a while ago. Super easy solve was for these people to disable their 5Ghz network for 5 minutes during the initial Homey setup.

@DrFatalis Well that´s awesome that you´re able to separate them. cause this is not possible with for example Google wifi. Looks more and more like ill invest into the Velops. Are you sattisfied with them? @Jamie Sounds fair. its threads like this that makes me unsure of the whole same ssid with du…

@Johan_Sorensen That’s exactly why i switched from google mesh to velop. One mesh for IT, one for security camera as i cannot drill walls yet and on LAPAC2600 for IOT on a dedicated VLAN so it cannot reach the rest of my stuff :slight_smile: Satisfied for the moment, easy to setup (you need to keep…

I have installed some TP-Link Deco (including P7) sets and at one client I ran into the issue that I cloud also not set seperate names for 2,4ghz and 5ghz. The client had issues with a Chromecast that we couldn’t connect (or keep connected) with the Deco set. Because of that reason we wanted to sepe…

Hi, I bought the Velops and installed them yesterday. So far no disconnects and 100% uptime on all nodes and Wifi devices such as chromecasts goggle homes/minis, air purifiers and so on. So right now it all just seems to work fine out of the box. Cheers!

Hi Johan, I really can recommend a Deco P7 mesh network of TP-Link. It’s a hybrid mesh network and I have one sinds about one year now. The one I have is a set of three nodes witch are covering: one in the souterrain, one fore the first floor and in front of the house and the bedrooms and one for …

Hi, my recommendation is to buy second hand asus router type RT-AC68U, you can get them cheap. And use asus AIMesh

Not a big fan of AiMesh (I have a ac88u and ac68u). Using one as main and the other as access point however is perfect. Also recommend to install Merlin in it.

I have four Lyra Mini together with an ASUS GT-AX11000 and it works like a dream. Only one SSID visible but covers both bands and all five nodes. Makes no difference which band my mobile is on. I can reach both bands and thereby also Homey. Good luck! The only con is that the built in LEDs can’t be…
