Hi All,
I have a FTTP NBN box in my garage, currently straight into an Ethernet port that corresponds to a port in my living room, here it is plugged into an old TP link modem (redundant)/router that provides wifi to my home. The wifi is patchy upstairs.
I have to ethernet ports upstairs, annoyingly on opposite sides of the same bedroom.
I have been doing some research and am confused with APs, Mesh systems, switches, the need for a router, where to place the router etc...
Do I need a router, the NBN box (FTTP modem) connected to the input of a PoE switch outputted to 2 of the Ethernet ports, allow a Mesh (wired backhaul) system to be installed at the 2 ethernet ports in the house.
If a router is required, and most Mesh systems include a router as a base and satellites, would the same as above work provide one is a router. Would this automatically give me wired backhaul?
Any suggestions of a setup (Budget 500-600) would be most appeciated?
