Hi, can I check for this HDB 5 room floor plan, will one EB810V unit be enough or would 2x EB810V mesh be required?
And where is the ideal location for the router(s)?
Looks like the floor plan is tough for single EB810v or any other router, because of the difficult position of the household shelter. BTW, I have seen many such floor plans in this forum.
Where is the FTP? Where are the LAN ports in the rooms?
On the other hand, there are some users who are creative in placing the router so maybe they have better ideas.
Thanks for the reply.
FTP is at the entrance of the house while every bedroom has a LAN port. Bedroom 3 will be the study room so I think I might actually place the router there for wired connection to my PCs actually.
A bit tough if you want to put a single EB810v router in Bedroom 3 but you can try. The worry is the coverage in the Kitchen area and even Main Bedroom.
Two router mesh solution may be better.
Main router EB810v in the DB box, second EB810v (or HB710) in the Bedroom 3. The worry is the coverage in the Main Bedroom but maybe it will be okay. Bedroom 2 or Main Bedroom is actually more suitable location for the mesh node but you put Bedroom 3 to be of higher priority.
As for whether to choose HB710 or EB810v as the mesh node, it will depend on the number of wired devices in Bedroom 3.
Still I will suggest you to get one EB810v first and place it in Bedroom 3 to see how it goes, as per your original plan. Most likely Kitchen area will have bad WiFi but the other areas may actually be okay. If not okay, get another EB810v or HB710 as mentioned earlier.
