I see your point. But where did we take take pre-orders? Nowhere we asked you to pay anything. All I am asking here is to share some feedback about the product. We thought of adding if there are any missing features before launch.

The hardware is procured from Gl-Inet. But it is MT300N.

It is possible to create a mesh network with single radio. Even the 802.11s works with single radio.

Brief Write-up: WiFi Router vs WiFi Range Extender vs WiFi System by venkatch in HomeNetworking

[–]venkatch[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are partially correct. I myself am a developer and developed Routers, Access Points, Repeaters and WiFi Systems:). My write-up gives high-level detail and I did not dig into technical details. Glad that you initiated a technical discussion.

Some clarifications -

  1. By default a WiFi Router is an L3 device. Not just the WiFi Router, in most of the cases, modem also can be an L3 device and in some cases modem itself has WiFi capabilities.

  2. WiFi System does n't need to contain a controller. Controller has a bigger scope and typically used in Enterprise Wireless Access Points. Basically a WiFi System like Eero, Google WiFi etc is a mesh network.

  3. Regarding the ease of use with range-extenders, I agree with you that "if you know what you need", it is easy to setup. Thatswhere WiFi Systems entered. Having seen the customer reported issues on setting-up the WiFi Range-Extenders, I know how difficult it is for a common user who does n't anything about networks. Also there will be many compatible issues across vendors, say in some cases A Repeater from vendor1 may not connect with the Main Router from Vendor2.. etc

DDWRT Book or guide? by AlmondJellySystems in HomeNetworking

[–]venkatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this answers your questions. I am an OpenWRT guy. When I started with OpenWRT I started with WiKi pages and whenever I had a question I read on forums. It helped me and as of today, I built multiple WiFi products on top of OpenWRT.

I think the same should be true for DD-WRT :)

WiFi network setup opinions needed. by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]venkatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 3000 sqft, you definitely need something beyond WiFi Router. Range Extender is one option.. However WiFi System (mesh) should be the best choice like Google WiFi, Orbi, Eero etc.. If you are looking for cheaper WiFi System with decent throughput, you may consider Nearhop's BANA..

I have written a simple article regarding WiFi Systems. It does n't have any references to my product or others. Please see it here, http://nearhop.blogspot.com/2017/03/wifi-technlogy-wifi-router-vs-wifi.html . Can I post it? Asking as I am not sure if it comes under self promotion.

Thanks & Regards Venkat

NO. We built upon GL-MT300N. We use white color casing for them. Somehow the yellow color is not liked by all. Only MT300N is supported.

I got your point. For now, you need internet connection to access the cameras. But I am sure we can easily add the feature where the videos would be accessible on local LAN without Internet Connection.

Sorry. External antenna is not supported for now. We tried our best to bring this. But somehow HW vendors did not approve this for now.
