  • Paying for a mesh system with a extra backhaul band that can only be used for backhaul like the pre wifi 6e orbis is a waste of money. As for what hardware to recommend it depends on your plan speeds, devices you are connecting and if you need a faster lan connection.

    I am useing deco x20’s in wired backhaul and (dual band access points) performance is peitty good (maxes out my 300mbps plan) and they are easy to setup. They are missing features like vap and vlan tagging compared to a more prosumer setup.




  • I would run a few speedtests from a few different devices ookla and the like to get a better picture of if ypu are actually using the faster speeds.

    T-mobiles home internet is likely over gsm. I have herd good things about that but I would look at your current provider to see if they have cheeper plans. Before making the switch to t-mobile.

    However as much as the other person was downvoted. I would doubt that you would notice much of a difference having a 100mbps internet package with your usage. That $50/ month is pritty significant.


  • I’m in canada we have 3 main possibilities for wireing to the house.

    True ftth/fttp with symmetrical plans up to 10gb usally 1.5gbps/1gbps is the max offerd in most areas with this technology.

    Coax cable with plans up to 1.2gbps but uploads of 50mbps

    And bonded vdsl 100/10 max the company markets that as “fibe” as it is fttn/fttc but uses phone likes from the box to the house.

    Your plan honestly sounds more like g.fast as I know the uk had a limited roll out of that. Fttc/fttn with a short copper phone line run to the house. With speeds technically up to 1gbps.

    This really dosent matter though.

    I think I worded the question about powerline wrong.

    The adptors would likely need to be on the same ring or a spur from that ring for best performance. I don’t know how big the hit is going cross rings as we don’t use ring wireing here.



  • In my quick searches. I’ve come up with this.

    This will need a separate router. Essentially any wifi ac router will work as vdsl tops out at like 300mbps with 35b

    You may just be able to buy your exact model of modem off of ebay to be honest as well.

    It is hard to recommend something without knowing what exact vdsl profiles they use

    1 port mach speed and warp meet sound like marketing terms and not a actual spec.

    I do see some devices marketed with g vector but thst also sounds like a marketing term for vectoring.

    Sorry for not being able to provide a clear answer.






  • As the other commenter said the upload speed is suspect for fiber but that doesn’t really matter.

    That TP-Link WDR3600 is a wireless n only router best case on wifi you are looking at only 100-150 mbps.

    And I don’t have a good sample of nat performance but it seems to be only arround 100mbps on a basic gargoyle install.

    Where you using powerline on the TP-Link TL-WPA7617?

    I don’t know how advanced you rules in gargoyle are and that will limit your device selection.

    If doing powerlinr i would recommend just using a normal powerline ethernet bridge and then connecting a ap to that.

    The broken tplink is likely under warranty, my experience with tplink warranty was pritty good.

    And finally do you have any coax lines or ethernet lines ran in your house?
