    2.5 Stars?

    • Shootinputin89 on 03/02/2025 - 15:26

      Try reading the reviews before worrying about 2.5 stars. Only two people have rated - 1 did 1 star with no review - 1 did 4 stars with the following:

      ' Great unit. Did not intergrate with Archer Mesh so returned. Nothing wrong with the product just 2 mesh system in one house did not work correctly.'

      aka you don't judge a product from two total reviews. Google the product and see what people think on places like Reddit, and what reviews say.

  • smiles on 30/01/2025 - 11:45

    I'm wondering if this AP setup is cheaper and easy and works, why do we need Mesh setup in place? Why can't we simply buy some cheap Wi-Fi 6 Access Points and place these APs in diff dead wifi zone areas provided we have Ethernet cable connectivity all over the property? Mesh devices are expensive

      Think you've already answered it, the people who use mesh routers have houses without ethernet running through the property
      I'm currently using a TP Link mesh router system and definitely does the job without the hassle of either running cabling myself or paying someone to do it for me
      Maybe one day when I have the time I'll do the cabling but for the time being it works well enough 😂

      "Mesh" is different to just having APs with the same name all over the place. Mesh gives seemless handover, self repair etc - in a "normal AP" situation, your device may remain connected to the AP thats far away, even though you have better reception to a closer one.

      • geekcohen on 30/01/2025 - 13:06

        No, not really. You would configure all your APs with the same WiFi SSID and Password, then it just goes to the closest AP. Setting APs as different SSIDs is silly unless you have a specific use case.

          Thats what I said? And most APs/devices wont automatically move you over to the closest AP when you are moving around

          • geekcohen on 30/01/2025 - 13:17

            @the-fuzz: Sorry, that is not how I interpretted it.

            I've never had that issue before, so you must've had a weird configuration. I've even mixed and matched different brands APs and routers without a hassle before. Do it a lot with Starlink Routers and then TP Link APs, never ever had a problem with it connecting to one down the hallway when you are standing next to the Starlink Router for example.

              @geekcohen: There is a specific standards for AP roaming (802.11r/k).
              Some client devices will move to the AP with better signal, but not all. The roaming standards allow APs to talk to each other and send the client to the better AP.
              Also centrally managed APs like these will also make sure they don’t conflict on channels to reduce noise.
              Wifi is actually very complex to get right.

                @internet-stranger: I've never had an issue with devices roaming etc and needing to "talk to each other". I did a Starlink with two Ubiquti U6 Lites as stand alone and no controller today and had no issues. Stood right in the middle of the Starlink Router and one AP, no issues. You could see the WiFi single drop briefly before roaming to the next AP.

                Whilst yes, Centralized solutions to manage channels etc and other area changes to help with noise/single quality etc are great, it would all vary based on your location. Like living in an apartment complex vs a 10-acre property.

                Wifi is actually very complex to get right.

                hhhhmmm…… I wouldn't say its very complex, just needs careful planning on location of hardware.

    Does it have easy mesh? TPLink page doesn't include it?

      You've answered your own question.

  • Swing on 30/01/2025 - 11:52

    Do you need a controller for this?

    • thorpef1 on 30/01/2025 - 12:01

      The Festa division has a cloud controller so not required to host your own separate controller

      • Averell on 30/01/2025 - 12:39

        What does a controller do? Is that something to configure the access point?
        Can I use this along with a router running OpenWRT (not a TPlink one) to have a wifi network that supports seamless roaming?
        Thanks

        • thorpef1 on 30/01/2025 - 13:17

          Correct. A controller allows you to centrally manage the Festa network devices on your network.

          I'm not 100% sure but I would assume you are unable to run different ecosystem devices seamlessly within the same network (sure you could have them both set up using the same ssid but they would likely cause interference and it wouldn't be a very seamless transition)

          I have 2 of these with an openWRT router (no wifi). No issues at all :)
