Tell me about mesh network systems these days.

The google WiFi system has been out awhile and I know there are some other systems out there.

I’m thinking I need to head that direction. I my house has a pretty big footprint and my router is on one end of the house. Accordingly getting access on the other end of the house is kind of sketchy.

So do these systems work well? Easy to set up? What brands work better than others?

The last point is I have ATT DSL and the WiFi is built into the modem. It’s pretty much a pain in the ass. Does anyone know if I can use these systems with ATT DSL?

Yeah, using an old router re-purposed as a standalone AP gives you (usually) 4 ports of switched ethernet AND additional wireless coverage. You CAN do this with wireless backhaul but wired backhaul is easier (other than physically pulling the cable), faster, and more stable.

I had that ASUS just sitting there when I replaced it with the Nighthawk. When I read about being able to use it as a repeater it was a no-brainer for me to try it as it didn't cost me a dime. Pulling the cable was definitely the bitch of the bunch.

I've been running DD-WRT for a few years now so my setup is pretty straightforward. Right now, my main DD-WRT router is a Netgear R7800 and the coverage is good enough I don't really need any AP's. However, I plan on adding back my old Linksys WRT1900AC as a switch/AP (running DD-WRT) at some point to handle a cluster of devices which includes a desktop PC and 2 printers.

Your networking kung fu is several belts higher than my own.
