[Blind-sysadmins] Re: Netgear or Asus Mesh

Hello Andrew, Thank you for your reply. What Orbi mesh router system do you have? What firmware is it on? Do they have frequent firmware updates? Does your Orbi router have OpenVPN server support? Thanks. Dave. On 2/10/20, Andrew Hodgson wrote:

Hi,

I kind of agree, I went with the Orbi because most of the others rely on apps to configure them and I wanted something with a web interface, at the time the Orbi was the only option, nearly everything else was easy setup on apps only.

The Orbi in my view is still the best router out there in terms of configurable features, I am not so happy with the Netgear router interface but it works well enough. I am using Ubiquiti kit now (actually just got a Dream Machine over Christmas), and I would probably look at using their Ubiquiti Unifi gear in mesh mode if I needed to go that route again.

There is also the Synology rT2600 which can then act as a mesh basestation, that is a very configurable beast. Not sure if Draytek are going to come out with a mesh system at some point, I have read rumours in various places.

I haven't gone near Asus. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Steve Nutt [steve@comproom.co.uk] Sent: 10 February 2020 15:05 To: 'Blind sysadmins list' Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Netgear or Asus Mesh

Hi,

I never fancied Mesh, they are not that configurable if you are an advanced router user.

All the best

Hello,

I'm going to be getting a mesh system for my home and want to hear from those who have them. After researching and talking to friends I'm thinking either the Asus ZenWiFi or the Netgear Orbi both AC3000 (I don't have anything AX currently) and both Tri-Band, but I'm wanting to hear others recommendations and experiences. If you've tried one or both please let me know your impressions.

I am also interested in any of these systems phone apps and how accessible they are if I would need to do setup on them either locally or when I'm out needing to change something. For reference to this question i'm using a windows10 laptop, a win10 surface pro tablet, and an android I think it's 8 phone and an android 9 tablet, so that's what any apps would have to run on.

If any of these (or other) mesh systems have native support for an
