Hi,
I own an ISP in Australia and have been looking for Mesh Access Point systems to offer my customers and the GL.Net stuff has caught my attention. I needed a Mesh Access Point system that allowed me to pre-configure the system without having to register a cloud account (looking at you TP-Link, Google, Amazon, and more). Some of my customers aren’t the most technical so I like being able to pre-configure everything so it is plug and play for them.
My requirements are:
- No cloud registration
- Access Point Mode
- Mesh (Wifi & Ethernet backhaul support)
- 2.4GHz and 5GHz
- Power cable (Not PoE)
I intend on using a Mikrotik Router as the Router and having the GL-B1300’s in Access Point Mode with Mesh enabled. I want to confirm this is possible without having to do NAT or anything like that before I purchase some to test with. I want to confirm the GL-B1300’s support Mesh Wifi and Ethernet backhaul. The reason I want to continue to use the Mikrotik Router is due to HTB QoS being a Router requirement, which I don’t think the GL.Net stuff can do yet.
Apart from the GL-B1300/GL-S1300/GL-B2200 devices are there any others I should be looking at that support Mesh and my requirements?
I look forward to any advice, thanks.
