We live in a condo and use a range extender to relay wifi. We need to manually switch networks every time we move from the front to the back.
We are interested in a Mesh network that creates a single network that does not require switching. The Linksys Velop is a true "Mesh," while the Netgear Orbi second unit uses a dedicated channel to communicate with the router and is not a true Mesh in the technical sense. The on line reviews are confusing and we are not certain which product best meets our needs.
(I am a techie to some extent and have played with changing channels, using the 5Ghz band, etc).
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
