The MINI Mesh AP/Router
This can be used in MESH mode as a wifi-2-wifi range extender.
or in CABLE mode to get WIFI somewhere else far from the outside dish or INSIDE for example.
in a mobile camper setup id use this in WIFI MESH mode to have the dish on the van and boost the signal to the DISCO TENT as an example. (that means the local devices use less power connecting to the local AP versus the far away Dish)
This is perfect for using your SL mini at Home, have it outside/garden/whereever, then just run a CAT5 cable inside from the DISH to this unit and you get perfect WIFI inside while the dish stays outside. - happy days.
the kits is very simple, a mini router + PSU + wall/desk bracket.
..
its nice a small. . .
on the back you get the power port, plus two RJ45 ports for the cable connection if you want to use that.
one cable to the DISH, that's it - the second port is if you want to UPLINK the SL to a local LAN wired network or other Config.
its all PLUG N PLAY
the setup is so simple - i think SL have there user interface dialled in perfectly.
power it up and it pops up in the APP.
and tells you exactly whats - what.
simples.
and tells you about the wired option.
give it a couple of mins . . . . and boom !! setup done.
all the data is in the APP.
you can see it works a proper MESH network, you keep the same WIFI SSID, thats broadcast from both the DISH and the NODES, this is what your devices connect to as normal.
but the clever part is that they are invisibly connecting to each other over a hidden wifi backbone.
so no new wifi name or passwords - just the one thats already running.
the jump/hop time is very fast - as you walk away from SL DISH our device will jump to the strongest signal.
here im near the DISH. . .
and here im near the MESH Node,
SPEEDTEST. . . . is not going to show us much as im on the STANDBY data package 0.5/0.5Mbps.
but well give it a go anyway.
as expected - we just see the 500Kbps UP/DOWN as the SL & Nodes can go much faster.
but id need to jump to the ROAM package..
its worth noting the the Node is also shown online on your account . .
Nice. . .
