Repeater = repeats the signal (connects to the router, your phone connects to the repeater, signal gets repeated)
Mesh = In a very simplified way they can be seen as a group of repeaters, but more intelligent (smart routing, seamless coverage, …)
So, if you want to have internet everywhere in your home with good coverage, a mesh would do that. Because the repeater has it’s own “Wifi”, you need to actively connect to it (at least that’s what I have), so if your device doesn’t connect to the repeater automatically if the router connection worsens, then you have to do that manually. Do you more or less get what I mean?
Mesh enables one WiFi connection to be made available everywhere using power of multiple devices
Repeater is going to provide WiFi signal on its own using the signal it gets from the main modem. So it would be great if I can have a situation where my laptop can pick signal from either repeater or modem without breaking down the operations
I am assuming that to create a mesh I need more than one box because the salt Fiber wouldn’t act as a companion in this case. While with repeater I just need one more box. Right?
Hard disagree. My PC is connected with a 10Gbits network card and I have many use cases for that speed. This weekend I downloaded RDR2 (a 110GB game) on Steam in just 6 minutes for example. All my data is synched with OneDrive and saved locally on my M2 drive too. Makes everything just seemless.
Well it‘s 10/10 Gbits, but in reality I get around 8 Gbits download/upload. Steam lets me download 350MB/s instantly. It‘s really cool to be able to play a new game within 3-6min
That sounds great. I will hopefully have Fiber next year and will probably go for the 10/10 rather than the 25/25 unless there’s a reason to splurge for the extra speed.
I don’t play many games, but I’m downloading large language models which are several gigabytes so having a faster connection would be great!
… and down to 30.- if you find 1 student to be added to the family/friends. Both, mobile or internet subs count as family worthy.
If no students in your circle are interested, you could even just gift them a Mobile Basic subscription (14.- original prize - 4.- family bonus - 5.- student bonus = 5.-/month final prize) and thereby the other 4 together save (4*5 = 20, 20 minus the 5.- gifted) = 15.-/month.
All perfectly (& transparently) allowed by Galaxus. IMO a very competitive offer overall if you get the bonus*.
*as I see the mobile subscriptions themselves as competitive as well (the 19.- offer minus family and student discount = 12.-).
Comparison to Salt:
-39.95 only if you have your mobile subscription with Salt (at Galaxus there is no need to)
-Minimum of 24 month subscription (Galaxus has no minimum, just one-month cancellation period)
-activation fee Salt = 49.- vs Galaxus 79.-
-Salt gifts you the first 3 months.
Over 2 years with all bonus of each you end up with 868.- for Salt (with no flexibility even not in phone sub) or 799.- with Galaxus (with very high flexibility & no phone sub lock).
Galaxus is clear winner for me.
Sorry, I was thinking more in terms of technical quality (reliability, average speed, latency, router/wifi quality, configuration capabilities, peering, …).
It’s Sunrise’s solution (but with support and router firmware by Galaxus) via XGS-PON, which means you’ll share the 10GBit connection to the central PoP with other subscribers (compared to e.g. Fiber7 where you have the entire 10GBit for yourself).
