Connecting Whole Home Quad bundle via ethernet

[baseborn]

Hi. This might be a daft question but i want to ask it before I buy the wrong solution.

After a load of messing about with BT and Openreach I am finally getting Fibre installed next week. The house we live in is a fairly large (3200sqft) 3 floor property with a detached garage. It's a pretty robust build and as such has a lot of steel and thick floors/walls. Wifi is a bit of a nightmare so we've been muddling through the last few months with tplink extenders plugged around the place.

We have the whole property set up with a 24 port switch and connections in pretty much every room so the stuff like Sky Q, sonos, TV's and the like are all wired and despite the current poor speeds work fine - and these will obviously benefit from the fibre upgrade and work as they do now (just faster).

The issue is basically that i want to ensure a really strong wifi signal around the house as phones/ipads are basically unusable even with our extenders - and they also mean you need to be signed into the extender network and the router so have to switch between the 2 depending on where you are in the house.

So......what i want to know is - if i buy the whole home quad bundle, can i plug each disc into a network socket in varying rooms in the house (so they are connected to the main router via the network switch) and will that then pump out strong wifi into that space (as if you were stood next to the router). I don't really want to have to rely on them connecting to each other via wifi as i'm concerned about signal strength due to the steel as mentioned.

Hopefully that makes sense!

Thanks

Tom

The whole home system is designed to be a meshed WiFi system. What would probably be better suited to your circumstances is simply separate Ethernet connected wireless access points rather than a mesh system.

Thanks for the info - can you recommend a device?

Entirely your choice really, do you want single band or dual band and what sort of WiFi speed.

Have a look at TP Link devices.

Thanks for that.

I was looking at this (link deleted)

It's for home use, mostly for phones/ipads - we will have 150mbps fibre so i just want a strong connection and be able to stream video etc. But a strong connection is the key over speed etc. Would this sufice?

I assume with these I would connect the ethernet socket and then it just 'distributes' the signal via wifi as normal? Is there much in the way of set up? I'm not super experienced with this stuff admittedly but would rather avoid the multiple router switching as i move around the house so would this just replicate the main router's ID/password if i had say 4 dotted about?

First of all please delete the link to Amazon, it breaks forum rules regarding e- commerce sites.

Yes, that device would be ok and you can give it the same SSID as you main router although personally I prefer to give WiFi sources discrete names so I know where I am connecting to and force a change to a stronger signal if needed which you can't do if all sources have the same name.

Apologies - had no idea ref the link rule - deleted now.

Thanks for the assistance.
