From a speed standpoint 95% of households will do fine with just one decent router assuming it has proper coverage. Its when you start adding high bandwidth devices that continuously use router resources then you start to stress things - such as videos being watched on multiple devices at the same time, cameras that are continuously uploading to the cloud and being viewed a lot, think of it like a tunnel thru a mountain.

For the vast majority of households these mesh systems are being used to fix coverage issues. Maybe they want better coverage outside, or want to be able to hide the equipment better and dont want it smack dab in the middle of the home because its not practical. OR the install location is far from the office etc...

If your equipment still serves you well then you should have no worries - ALTHOUGH from a security standpoint, you might want to consider getting a new router if the manufacturer no longer is sending updates for security purposes. That is more a risk tolerance tho.

It's really not that complicated though?

This doesn't come with the satellites, but is compatible with the Velop mesh

I have some old velop mesh nodes and wanting to enlarge the system with another node. Could this act as an additional node? Or use this as the base with my old nodes? Would I get any benefits or would things still be limited by my old nodes (from like 2020)

Have you tried disabling the 5ghz band, adding the troublesome devices, and the re-enabling the 5ghz band? Has worked for me in the past when adding some old Kasa devices to an Amplifi router.

I can try that. I was thinking I might keep old router downstream from new one to handle the old devices

I'm just here to learn. When did WiFi get so complicated? We don't use any meshb systems, and the entire house works fine on a single 10 year old router which covers more than 3500sqft. And only cost about $90 at the time. Why would one upgrade to such an expensive and complex system? just curious...

I'm sure your 10 year old access point can push very fast speeds /s. Seriously though, I'll find myself needing to push terabytes of data over a network, with 10 year old wireless I think that would take FOREVER...

It's all to do with wanting faster speeds and some houses just don't have great coverage throughout the house -- walls or whatever objects can impede signal where they need to be repeated. I have personally just run wiring throughout the house to just add access points where needed, but I find that with my new house I just don't have time to do that and end up getting something like this to put something like openwrt on them to bridge together as a quick fix.
Other problems that happen too are that you get some new devices, like a tablet/phone/laptop - the newer devices might have chipsets in theme that just do not play nicely with your older set up.
You're right to point out though, what was once simple is not so simple anymore. I think a lot of people just want things to work faster while others might want things to work faster at other points in the house that have bad reception. The manufacturers of these things want you to buy THEIR devices and there's no real single nice way to get a "mesh" sort of network going -- it's always going to be hokey, which is why I try to do everything over CAT5e or better...

you can. also try and see if you ca. have a dedicated IOT network, either as a standard option or using your "guest network" as your IOT. I have a dedicated IOT network that only uses 2.4ghz. see if that helps

Would the LN1301 be able to connect to these as a mesh network?
