Odd problem with wireless repeater.

[eek]

Are these BT thingies using WiFi to communicate with each other or power cables? The website makes them sound amazing, but gives little detail on what they're really doing.

Yep BT are just the first to launch a wifi mesh system in the UK... I suspect they will be a lot more appearing over the next year or so....

Apparently Ubiquiti is a decent system. No idea if it's more widely available. Possibly overkill for a mere residential dwelling unless it's very, very important to you.

BT are the first to launch a consumer (I would still say prosumer as its over kill for 80% of homes), I have a similar set up with Meraki, although pay a bit more for it

But is the meraki system as simple? The BT offering seems almost plug and play (if we use that term anymore?) but thought the meraki needed a bit of networking nouse and setting up?

That does look lovely, but he's already got his rooms wired up. That and a PoE switch with a couple of cheapy APs would fix the OP's problem on its own.

Should do but it's a mess. That BT kit looks nice and clean. I meed to junk the BT routers and get some proper APs but it's gonna cost the same as the mesh kit. Oh I don't know lol.
