[QUOTE="Party Monger, post: 2313957, member: 12884"] I installed 2 satellites in access point mode with R7000 as my main router. I've removed my second r7000. Its working fine. The network is not as strong as I would like, its definitely weaker than my R7000 for a single satellite. But with 3-4 across each floor it should work fine without any dead spots and since they are all hardwired, even if I get 50mbps at any spot, internet speed will be full 50mbps which means I can do most stuff except big file transfers. Unfortunately my placement isnt optimum since its in middle on long side of rectangular floor but near the wall on other side. However I am not missing wifi anywhere. Both my units have wired backhaul. Fast roaming is not enabled by default. Once I did enable, devices were moving properly. Else you can just switch wifi on and off. New devices launched in last year or two generally have no issue. Also I had read there was a beta firmware that is coming soon that will solve most of these problems that you have read. Its coming for M5 first. I think everyone know What I did notice is that the second and the only free lan port when used, was getting 25% less speed on lan transfers. Generally its 100MBps to my Pi NAS. It was 75MBps with this. I this this could be due to the mesh network overhead or just other devices using, since this was connected to the main deco. Over all, I think for price of 11500 for 3 decos this is a very good bargain, considering R7000 and its substitutes cost that much these days. Since I have 4 floors and 3 deco M5, Im considering getting a more powerful deco for the floor where Wifi is used the most. So that I can get good 5ghz speeds. Atleast full gigabit wifi speed without any issue would be great. Also I can place the deco right in middle on that floor. So do recommend a more powerful unit. My R7000 is working there right now, But im afraid it might be creating more noise. Seamless Mesh would be great. Also I could make that more expensive router the main deco since it would have more processing power. TLDR - IF you're coming from cheap routers, this will be a life changer. IF you're coming from R7000s running custom firmwares, it wont feel as powerfull, but remove all deadspots and let you move freely. Worth the money IMO. The units are pretty small. [/QUOTE]
