Pfsense is open source firewall and router , people run it on devices like protectli , it's hardened security stuff and extremely customisable.
Never heard of these will have a read up and see if it all makes sense to me lol
just get cheap deco m4 pack they will do fine or any other mesh system, either way you are still tied to your VM 3 hub,you cannot just replace it with another but you can put it into modem mode and use mesh or another router.
Oh I know I got to keep old rubbish VM SuperHub 3 although there really isnt really anything super about it. This deco m4 are they just extenders or an actual new reuter
I got a set of these last year and boy it's made a difference, your hub 3 is switched to modem mode, you then plug one of the dec m4's into the vm hub and other M4's around they house, the M4 is now the router and provides stronger wifi. I have one in back room by vm hub 3, one in front room near tv/enigma2 box and one in bedroom upstairs, not had a wifi drop out since installing them
yea, had no issues with speed since installing them.
SSID is the same, I have three dec m4 units and they all use the same SSID, that is the point of mesh, all units have same SSID so devices connect to unit with best signal without having to switch to different ssid on device. I actually used the same SSID that my HUB 3 used when it was in router mode, that way I didn't have to change anything on any of my devices
Same here grog saved any trouble when family appearing into home then can stilll connect as normal ,sometimes thought about adding grandson to seperate network as you can do with mesh cut him down to say 20 MBits get him back to reallity as in bulitin boards years back 4 hours to upload two 3.5 inch floppy disk 1.44 MB and that was me boxing as they used to call it dial tones to another exchange
