Sarasota, FL | Interesting idea If it works, great...but I can't imagine there wouldn't be significant signal degradation from daisy-chaining a bunch of wireless routers/repeaters. | |

| Re: Interesting idea said by Ancalagon  :If it works, great...but I can't imagine there wouldn't be significant signal degradation from daisy-chaining a bunch of wireless routers/repeaters. Actually, the term you are looking for is "throughput" rather than "signal" degradation.
But yes, that is true. This effect is well-known with mesh systems, especially those that use a single frequency.

| The meraki units work extremely well for their intended use: Cheap, straightforward internet access. They aren't designed to replace private wifi networks, in this arena they rate rather poorly. I purchased a few of these a couple of months ago and I've had very few issues. Limit the hops to 3-4 between gateways and you're sailing smooth. | |
