ᐅ Which Wi-Fi Mesh System for Home Use?

I also work a lot on my NAS, including with larger files. So data throughput on the LAN is important.

I can understand that for LAN, why not. But how about mobile use within the house over Wi-Fi?

17 access points. Almost everywhere 5 GHz coverage (including in the garden). You really need to manage the networks and transmit power here.
Because of the many APs, only a few devices connect to each access point at a time.
Due to my concrete construction, many APs are necessary.
My office LAN is 10 Gbps. Connection at the NAS and switches is 20 and 40 Gbps, respectively.
As I already mentioned, my network should not be used as a model or example.

No, I didn’t mean a hardware list, but rather what kind of data your Wi-Fi actually transmits. What type of applications you’re using and what data rates you actually require.

Yes, you are right, I am basically a standard user.

Regarding our house: the semi-detached house will be built using calcium silicate blocks with concrete ceilings.

I will, of course, try to connect as many devices as possible to the LAN.

For Wi-Fi, good coverage is important to me so there are no dead zones, but I don’t need extremely high transfer speeds (100 Mbps or more would be enough) since I don’t download very large amounts of data on mobile devices.

We will probably go with fiber optic from Vodafone with 500 Mbps.

@Tassimat Wifi is used for Wifi calling, quickly checking emails, tablet browsing, etc.
There are sometimes multiple users in the house. My Wifi usage never goes above 50% capacity.
All fixed devices are connected via LAN.

Which access point supports gigabit speeds on the 2.4 GHz band?

I haven't checked specific brands, but basically all with 802.11ax. Or at least many of them.

And that’s not duplex.

Of course not. Wi-Fi is never duplex.

Only theoretical.

That’s true as well. But even with only 25% actual data throughput, there is still plenty left.

So connect all fixed devices via LAN. Install enough access points.

Absolutely. Anyone familiar with wireless goes for wired connections. I just wanted to challenge the prejudice that “5 GHz is good, 2.4 GHz is bad.” The better access points usually support both anyway, and recently some even include 6 GHz.
