I have been on IT most of my life. I have a friend that implemented a mesh network and has had nothing but problems. My experience with IT is that it is best to wait a few iterations before diving in. For most I am sure it will work well, but if you are the guy that has problems, it will be really frustrating.
I had to buy a replacement router / modem a couple weeks ago. I stuck with traditional router + extenders and have been happy with greater range / throughput of this new one. Took me 10 minutes and all existing extenders worked. I’ll postpone mesh until everyone else has it. Maybe that is just me having implemented the first version of Windows, and the first modem, and network / network card in a PC, for myself and the corporation I worked for. It was fun for 35 years. I like simplicity and reliability now.
