    is mesh with power line better? i dont think powerline is really suitable for 1gb internet is it?

    Nope, but neither is Wifi. But if you want 200Mb then either can be fine in some locations.

    Including my own, 10. Is there a workable product you can suggest Ed?

    5Ghz. For now anyways depending on how big mesh systems get. When three neighbours are using quad mesh systems 5Ghz might degrade like 2.4 already has.

    US and Mexico:

    Rest of world:
    5GHz not supported

    Looks like the outdoor nests arent compliant outside the US so its essentially obsolete. You might kermudgen it to work now but 2.4 is only getting worse day by day.

    Really you yourself are a case why its fecked. There are 3x non overlapping bands. You have 4x transmitters! Thats not allowing for next door, over the road, behind you etc.

    The best options to link the various "units" in a mesh network, would be wired ethernet where possible.

    Where is this not possible, Powerline is better than any wireless method.

    Fed-up with constant dropouts on the Huawei I decided I'd try the Google Wi-Fi unit. I didn't know if it would fix the issues, after all the Huawei units should have but didn't. I ordered a router and point last week, got them installed on the Saturday and haven't experienced a dropout since. The rear Nest camera which would drop out several times per day for up to 15 minutes has been rock solid. The app loads them a lot faster, the camera's appear much quicker when I select them from a hub and so on.

    I'm delighted. Puzzled but delighted.
