Hello,
I wanted to ask where it is best to place the Wi-Fi mesh system in a new build.
We have a basement, ground floor, first floor, and attic. The internet connection with the main router is in the basement.
Where is the best place to position the mesh repeaters? One per floor?
Which mesh system would you recommend for a stable Wi-Fi connection?

Networking Wi-Fi access points using a second or third wireless channel (wireless backhaul). You can achieve a unified SSID and good coverage with wired access points as well; for that, you don’t need a mesh network.But then, when switching to another access point, you have a connection drop. Isn’t that the advantage of mesh compared to regular access points? Or am I misunderstanding?
You are mistaken. With Unify, you have a central controller with zero handoff.
I have 17 access points. I also needed that because my house is made of concrete. Certainly, my network is not a standard example, but I would generally plan with about 2 access points per floor, for example, in the office, living room, etc. Whether you only have 2.4 GHz in the bathroom does not matter.
The more devices connected to Wi-Fi, the slower it becomes. You don’t have this problem with LAN.

In addition to what rick2018 explained, the handover or roaming/steering from the network side is more of a hopeful wish. Ultimately, the client device decides when to switch. With a well-designed overall system, you can influence this somewhat, but not much more. This has nothing to do with mesh networks.
@Pacc666: I strongly recommend you find someone to set this up for you. Otherwise, you won’t be satisfied or it’s better to stick with a simple system like Orbi, Fritz, or similar.
Nonohd is actually meant to be installed on the ceiling. The emission angle is optimized for that.
There are also design stickers available to make it less noticeable. With a suspended ceiling, a recessed FlexHD could also be an option.
Since you usually have diffuser vents, smoke detectors, etc., on the ceiling anyway, an access point wouldn’t stand out there.

Since you usually have ceiling-mounted devices like diffusers and smoke detectors, an access point doesn’t stand out. In our small 65m2 (700 sq ft) apartment, it hangs very centrally and works well, but in the house they will be installed differently 😉 Either way, I think they’re nicely unobtrusive 😀
