Wired vs Wireless Mesh Configurations

  • BOTH A & B: WiFi devices (phones/tablets, etc) talk to the nearest access point

  • Only In A:

    • Communications bounce between access points until they get to the Internet router

    • Bouncing takes time (“latency” or “lag”)

    • High interference/noise from close neighbors significantly decreases performance

    • Particularly laggy with online gaming, video conferencing, and HD/Live video streaming

  • Only In B:

    • Communications go directly via cable to the Internet router

    • Communications are nearly instantaneous (almost no “lag”)

    • Superior performance in dense environments, not as affected by interference/noise from neighbors

    • Superior performance for online gaming, video conferencing, and HD/Live video streaming

Common mesh WiFi systems such as Eero, Orbi, and UniFi will work in either wired or wireless mode. You want to wire up your mesh access points for best performance

…but how?
