Key Pain Points
- Router in the living room leaves bedrooms and bathrooms weak
- Severe signal loss between floors
- Decoration finished, re-cabling not possible
- Multiple devices compete for bandwidth
Solution Architecture
- Main node: Wi-Fi 6 router or gateway as the uplink
- Extension: repeaters or panel APs per room
- Topology: Mesh wireless backhaul, no cabling
- Wired-first: reuse existing cable backhaul where available
- Capacity: choose dual-band or tri-band by concurrent clients

Requirement Breakdown
Figures below are design assumptions for sizing, not measured site data — confirm against the actual site before ordering.
- 01Points by room count: one main router plus one extension per 1–2 rooms, with separate points per floor in duplexes.
- 02Concurrency: 10–20 devices per household (handsets, TV, cameras, smart home).
- 03Backhaul: prefer wired where available for stability and full bandwidth; otherwise use mesh wireless backhaul.
- 04Finished interiors: favour options that avoid building work — surface-mounted panels, wireless backhaul, reuse of existing cable.
Zones & Topology
01
Main node: a Wi-Fi 6 router or gateway on the ONT acts as the household egress.
02
Extension layer: repeaters or panel APs per room, preferring existing cable for wired backhaul.
03
Mesh layer: where appropriate, mesh nodes choose the best backhaul path automatically.
04
Smart-home layer: put cameras, locks and other IoT on a separate SSID so main-network rate policy does not misfire on them.

| CF-E390AX | One per room to be covered | 1800M ceiling / wall AP for bedrooms and studies |

Key Technical Points
- Wired backhaul always beats wireless，run a cable where you can — no halving of bandwidth and far steadier latency.
- Do not place an extension through two walls，a repeater halfway between the router and the dead zone works far better than one inside it.
- For duplexes the floor slab is the biggest obstacle，plan one node per floor.
- Cameras and other video backhaul consume uplink，give them their own SSID and prefer wired connection.
Installation & Commissioning
- Map the existing router's signal room by room (record RSSI) before choosing extension positions — do not guess.
- Panel APs need a standard 86-box; where the run comes from a distribution box，verify wiring order and length.
- Keep mesh hops short and unobstructed，and watch channel occupancy when backhaul shares a radio.
- After commissioning，speed-test the main rooms， paying attention to far rooms and bathrooms.
Where These Projects Most Often Go Wrong
- Putting a repeater inside the dead zone，the backhaul is already weak and the result is worse.
- Giving each extension its own SSID，walking around causes frequent drops and manual switching.
- A duplex with the router on one floor only，upstairs relies on penetrating the slab and rates collapse.
- Cameras on wireless sharing the phone SSID，multiple video backhauls crowd the uplink and video competes with browsing.
Acceptance Criteria
- 5GHz ≥ -67dBm in the main rooms including bedroom，study and bathroom.
- Video calls and streams survive walking around the home.
- Far-room throughput supports 4K video and video conferencing.
Sizing Rule & Pricing
Sizing rule: extensions = rooms ÷ 1–2 (double for duplex floors); use panel APs where cable exists and repeaters where it does not. Send us a floor plan to confirm model choice.
