Ehh... we used open-mesh for a while, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. I don't know what their hardware is like now, because we gave up on it years ago, but when they were running on the Engenius hardware the reliability was pretty awful. I think we ended up having to replace every single Engenius unit we deployed.
Then we discovered Ubiquiti and their hardware was amazing, but you couldn't use it for open-mesh after the FCC tapped Ubiquiti on the shoulder for allowing their radios to be reconfigured with a different country code.
Open-mesh seems like they're targeting the hobbyist / light commercial deployment market, Eero looks like they're aiming for the home and end-user market. Maybe their marketing is stretching things a bit, but I don't think it's completely out of line.
- monojussi 12y agoI deployed and ran a five-unit open-mesh system about a year ago. After some slight deployment shenanigans, the system was stable and pretty fast.
- thaumaturgy 12y agoOh, good to hear. :-) I like Ubiquiti but I'll keep open-mesh in mind then as an option.
- lazylizard 12y agoi have 3 units in my network, 1 upstairs(7 floors up in my flat) and 2 downstairs(in a friendly shop)..even the lc version works.
