Wireless grid
Hot knowledge: The essence of wireless Mesh is that routers build networks through WiFi.
As we all know, when WiFi encounters obstacles, such as doors, windows, walls, etc. , it will decay, and the network effect will decrease with the distance of propagation.
Now almost every household has Wi-Fi, and some have more than one. Therefore, there are multiple Wi-Fi signals at the same time and space, which sometimes causes signal channel congestion, and network signals are not as stable as wired Mesh.
The advantage of wireless Mesh is that it is simple to operate and does not need any networking foundation and redundant operation. At first glance, it is seconds. Take Reko Power 10AX as an example.
Some friends will worry that they don't know the connections. What should I do if I don't put it in a good position?
Isn't this a coincidence? Wireless Mesh is the only choice to realize the whole house WiFi, and there is no need to deploy the network cable in advance.
You can change the placement position at will, find the "land of feng shui" by speed measurement, and realize seamless indoor roaming; Not only that, the router can also join the network at any time, and it can be easily extended wirelessly later.
Wired grid
Wired Mesh is more difficult to operate in networking, which needs to be planned in advance and has a certain networking foundation.
A wired grid needs to connect all routers together through network cables. If the room where the router is placed is far away, the network cables need to cross mountains to connect with each other.
And it is best to put the router near the power supply, otherwise you need to pull the patch panel to connect.
The network cable and power cord exposed to the air will greatly reduce the simplicity and aesthetics of the display screen.
The wired Mesh is connected to the network through the network cable, so it is not easy to be disturbed. When we use it, we don't have to worry about the attenuation of the network speed during transmission. Faster network speed, wider coverage and more stability.
Summary &; suggestion
Finally, we can draw a conclusion:
The network effect of wired Mesh is better than that of wireless Mesh in terms of network speed, coverage area and stability.
Wireless Mesh is easy to operate, it does not need to be wired in advance, and it is more convenient to add new routers at any time.
It is suggested that friends with high network requirements and a certain networking foundation choose wired Mesh, without wiring in advance, and networking whites and disabled people choose simple and easy-to-operate wireless Mesh.
In addition, wired and wireless Mesh can be mixed, and the right medicine can be given according to the specific situation, and the most suitable solution can be found as far as possible.
