Hey, that's really timely for me. I'm getting ready to set a mesh network for my older parents as well. Do you have any suggestions for hardware and software?

Hey, that's really timely for me.
I'm getting ready to set a mesh network for my older parents as well. Do you have any suggestions for hardware and software? I live a ways away from them so I need this to be pretty much faultless. I don't want to drive 4 hours for IT support.
- travoc 1y agoASUS routers with Merlin firmware work well in a mesh configuration.
- chatmasta 1y agoThe TP-Link option was great. If it was for myself, I'd build my own with OpenWRT but my goal was to minimize the chance of downtime in case I'm not available to help debug issues. They already had a TP-Link range extender running for 4+ years without ever needing to touch it, so I figured their mesh network was a good option too.

- 0cf8612b2e1e 1y agoMy paranoia goes against this idea. How sure are you that the remote management is hardened? Assuming that disabling external control is actually effective, that seems like it removes most practical exploits one would encounter. A network configuration for a non technical person should be so simple it does not require regular maintenance.
