Tell me about mesh network systems these days.

I just prefer using a solid and stable connection for any trunking. I'm not big on using wireless for anything other than truly mobile devices. Plus the more mesh you use, the more wireless bands you need, and it's just overkill to me, especially if you want dual-band access coverage.

If you HAVE to use wireless backhaul then I guess mesh will suffice but I'd rather run a cable.

Right on. And I agree. I'd just rather pay for mesh than thrash my house to get all the cables run.

Buehler, mesh is just this years cool thing. It’s just a bunch of recievers and broadcasters of your traffic. Not exactly a unique idea. It’s usually more expensive and expands your footprint that can be hacked. Not to get too technical but google man in the middle attack. It uses a different protocol but using that technique, I’ve seen some hackers say they can hack mesh from the street.

I’m with hitsmage, stick with the cable. But if you have to tear up your house, oh well. Get yourself some mesh.
