Migrate from Fritz - GL Inet setup
Im looking at migrating my setup from a 3 x Fritzbox 7530AX and 1 x repeater setup to GL Inet.
Currently i have a central Fritz 7530AX which connects to FTTP via PPPoE/ONT. It also runs analogue phone.
I then have 2 other Fritz and 1 repeater running in a mesh (via ethernet cable) to various signal dead spots in the house.
Im looking at 2 separate ways here.
As far as i understand no GL Inet products yet support EasyMesh or similar. That means if i got rid of the Fritz setup entirely id lose mesh handover/steering so devices are going to hang onto a weak or slower connection and so on. Is it true there is no support for that? Rapid handover is not the same - it wont affect the root cause of sticking on a less optimum router.
I considered a Flint 3e or 2 then using then having the wifi on that turned off and using the Fritzboxes as IPClient and running the mesh. (Also the analogue phone connection without a separate box).
Then decided if i have to disable wifi on the Flint anyway then a Brume 3 might be a better option running those same Fritz clients?
The gateway would run Adguard Home and AmneziaWGv2 servers (this is currently farmed out to a RaPi along with dhcp).
So questions:-
- is it correct no current products support proper mesh protocols other than rapid connect so i would lose steering?
Im trying to avoid the usual issue of devices sticking on 2.4ghz even with a strong 5ghz in range or staying on a weak node instead of jumping to a stronger one for far too long. Hence easymesh or similar.
- Is the better option a Brume or a Flint with WiFi disabled (would need to be disabled due to handover/wifi issues as above as far as i can tell).
I own a Beryl AX so far so familiar with its GUI and the console.
