What’re people using for Mesh home networking these days? TP Link has gotten progressively worse. Opened the app just now and it caused the system to reboot while Nicole was on a call. Just opened the app. #homenetwork #networking

@jwilker@wandering.shop eero's been great for me for years. Never a blip. Configuration is easy. App is good and frequently updated.

That’s a common occurrence and the app has gotten more and more shitty with each release. But hey they added an AI POS that can read docs to you but not actually answer questions about your system. Would prefer something not tied to Amazon.

@jwilker@wandering.shop I've got a Synology setup that works nicely. RT2600ac router, and MR2200ac mesh units. From time to time (ever few months) one of the MR2200acs will start pegging its CPU and I'll remotely reboot all of them via the app. I don't know if this is actually the best setup, but it's working well for me.

@jwilker@wandering.shop I’ve been very happy with Ubiquiti gear for years. Start here: https://uk.store.ui.com/uk/en/category/cloud-gateways-wifi-integrated/products/ux7 (Not UK obviously.)
