    I run a set of erro pro 6 mesh right now and I will never go back to a normal router. Two units is covering my 3000sqft home in every inch plus some surrounding outside area but I have a very open floor plan and no wall between the 2 units spread across the living space. I would be interested in how the Wyze hold out.

    Big fan of your plain speak reviews. Now that Wyze has just released the WiFi6E Pro version of their mesh system, I look forward to you in-depth review. I suppose the “Pro” label is more marketing than actual pro features like two 2.5Gbps ports that would allow a 2Gbps+ input from an upcoming DOCSIS4.0 internet service and output to a 2.5Gbps network switch to support 1Gbps+ devices like PCs, Macs and NAS.

    I have a dumb question since I've always just had one base router in my home but have different needs since I moved to a bigger house. Do all the mesh routers have to be within distance of communication with the main router that provides internet service? Or can the routers be spread out such that the furthest mesh router isn't within distance of the main router providing service, but is communicating with another mesh router that is. Maybe put a different way, as long as one mesh router is close enough to another mesh router will it provide internet service through the mesh router network? Hope what I'm asking makes sense.

I saw it in the promotional video where he says we will release an update in a few months. I think it was dumb not to have either very large SD card but if they steal the cam or break it the SD card is gone and so on. I like to back up to the cloud not record to the cloud. I bet the amount of server space they are using is astronomical and so broke down for local record.

    Two things I really don't like about these Wyze products. First, each device is a full router, instead of using one router and a bunch of satellites. This means the end cost is more, if you need several for the mesh coverage. Second, these routers only have two LAN ports, most routers have at least 4. So if more then two ports are needed to connect devices via ethernet, then you need to spend more money to add ports. Where is the next video showing how to hook them up and how they compare? I can't find it.
