I should clarify: I did try at one point using a mesh router unit and trying to configure our existing modem/router unit for pass through mode. I am not 100% certain I configured it correctly, however, I was able to send a wifi signal from the new mesh router to a corresponding mesh extender in the audio room. This didn't make an audible difference to my ears. I assume it was because wifi is wifi?
I did this just yesterday. I'm still using the ISP modem/router, but I get enough wifi coverage to be able to turn off broadcasting from the wifi extender. I was happy to have discovered this and have to credit
@greenblured for suggesting it. I didn't even think about turning broadcasting off, let alone discovering that it was possible
I can get a switch to try this. However this brings a question – my extender has 4 ethernet jacks. I have 3 devices I need to plug in: monitor, computer and audio server. How do you recommend plugging these items in:
- Computer and monitor into the wifi extender jacks, audio server into the switch? Or
- All 3 devices into the switch
