I have a handful of MeshPotato s  that I am currently not using.  They are designed to be cheap, robust, and potentially solar-powered... they are now out-of-production and somewhat old but still viable tech.

Some of the places I was testing them, I replaced with powerline wifi extenders... to extend wifi among buildings on rural properties with common mains (farms)...   For any more distributed home/homestead on the grid (or even a self-contained solar/110 homestead) this can be a good option.

Me too.   Also they are nice for connecting desktops at random locations because they give ethernet drops where there is an access point, and you can keep adding access points.

I am sold on mesh systems. If a small place, could do it for $200.

I like Eero.

Hi,

 

Does anybody have anything good to say about devices to extent wifi range in a house.  The students sitting on the couch side by side taking on line courses is not going to work!
