I heard that mesh is just simply the same as signal extender except that it can have multiple one so it can cover more areas. The losing speed over the wireless connection is still there.
Mine current one can be set up as an extender or access point, but for some reasons, when I set it up as an access point, I don't gain speed at all. Therefore, I am thinking about getting a new/better access point.

But what surprised me was the main part as in the picture and one in the corner of living room and the other in the hallway upstairs and as soon as I plugged them in....connection!
I was asked network name, admin name, admin password and that was it! All security setting actually matched my older ones with several new items, the best being the ability to turn on synchronous data so transmit and/or receive make my lan feel much faster!
