Help! with Extending Wireless on Gigabit install

[menasche]

Kevin,

Interesting setup... I am going to research plume... but why still use the Sonic router?

I use plume as well currently, and really like them. I'm not yet on gigabit (will be in about a month), so I'm not sure what kind of maximum throughput it has, but it's been amazing in my home with my Fusion X2 setup.

Throughput for Plume is around ~270Mbps using their built in app speedtest.

I'm getting 670 with velop

If you want reliable WiFi consider using multiple wired UniFi APs of the same model depending on your budget. I have two of the AC-LR models for my 2000SF home and they're rock solid providing excellent coverage. pfSense takes care of my routing, DHCP, etc. while a UniFi 8 port switch powers the UniFi APs via Cat 6a cabling. Much better solution than WiFi extenders, etc.

Kevin-Have not figured out how not to use the Sonic Router this would take time and I don't want to take down my network for an long time.
