re: Home Mesh Wifi

I have had good luck with Plume wifi. Each node can do wired backhaul, you can connect it to your existing router or directly to a modem. They look nice and only block one plug on a outlet so the wife doesn't complain.

They do have a cloud based component which will optimize how each node routes traffic based on your usage.

They only sell directly from their website so many people haven't heard of them but Comcast has integrated their tech into their latest routers so they seem to be doing well.
