Advice please on suitable Mesh system

I have a Volt Gig1 broadband connection, Hub 5 and 3 VM WIFI pods. My WIFI connected outside security cameras keep losing connection and I'm looking at putting in a Mesh network hoping this will solve the problem. Which manufacturer and model would you recommend?

Many thanks - Colin

 

  • A Hub 5 and 3 Wifi Pods is a Mesh System. 

    It may be you need to relocate the Pods to give a better connection to the cameras?

    However some users here have had success with this unit TP-Link RE450 AC1750 Dual Band Wi-Fi running along side the VM Wifi for cameras.   Also the TP-Link DECO Mesh systems are also mentioned here as a solution.

    Another point to consider is using PoE cameras rather than Wifi.
