Big houses in Sydney rarely have a coverage problem — they have a coherence problem: several routers bolted on over the years, each with its own WiFi name, password and blind spots.
A two-storey house with wings — around 16 rooms including living areas — ran three routers from three brands (Huawei, TP-Link, a ZTE modem-router) in three rooms. Phones didn't roam between them, security cameras were attached to different routers on different segments so they couldn't be viewed in one app, and every guest needed three passwords.
一栋带偏房的两层住宅，含客厅厨房约16个房间，三个房间里跑着三台不同品牌的路由器（华为、TP-Link、中兴光猫一体机）。手机在楼上楼下不会自动切换，监控摄像头挂在不同路由器的不同网段下无法统一查看，客人来了要输三个密码。
- Modem set to bridge mode; one main router handles PPPoE.
- Existing Ethernet reused as wired backhaul for mesh satellites — the most stable form of mesh.
- One SSID across the whole house with seamless roaming; all cameras on one segment, viewable in one app.
For a separate client with a 1,200sqm garden and 300sqm interior, the same design carried WiFi to the far corners of the yard. (That job also involved wrangling five different account passwords across the ISP, app and hardware — a uniquely Australian sport.)
- 光猫改桥接，由一台主路由统一拨号。
- 利用房屋已有网线做Mesh有线回程——这是最稳定的Mesh形态。
- 全屋一个WiFi名无缝漫游；所有监控统一网段，一个App全部可看。
另一位客户的房子有1200平院子+300平室内，同样的方案把WiFi送到了院子最远的角落。（那一单还顺带打通了运营商、App和设备共5套账号密码——堪称澳洲特色运动。）
Result最终结果
One network, one password, seamless roaming through 16 rooms — cameras finally in one place.
一个网络一个密码，16个房间无缝漫游——监控终于能统一查看。
