Hi all, hoping for someone to explain to me the reason for the below - go easy as initially I thought this made logical sense!
I have recently installed CAT 6 around my house via an 8 x gigabit port switch in the attic, cabled from the main SH2 in the lounge also with CAT 6.
I was thinking that if I hard wired my 3 x complete WIFI discs back to the SH2 via the switch, this would mean that I could get the same / similar download speeds over WIFI that I get in the same room as the SH2. I have the 900mb full fibre package, so thought this was possible rather than the current 80-100mb I currently get when the discs work together as a mesh system.
Reading other forums, I've learnt that what I'm trying to do isnt really what the completeWIFI discs are meant for, potentially now no longer working as a mesh system?
I only get 80-90mb now via wifi in the rooms where I have the discs - I do get a better / stable connection it seems however, so maybe thats still an advantage.
The room with the SH2 I can get anywhere from 300-500mb+ about 2M away.
Is there a reason why I cant get more speed from the dics that are hardwired? Is there a reason you can only get the much faster speeds over WIFI in the same room as the SH2?
(I originally needed to hardwire the 1 x disc which is in the main bedroom, direclty over the room with the SH2 in as for some reason no matter where I place the disc, it struggles with getting a strong signal back to the SH2 - sometimes showing an orange light)
Thanks all.
