Yes, Ubiquiti has AP mesh hardware that uses a dedicated backhaul radio, so you can extend the mesh without needing wired backhaul for mesh points.

It's slow as shit though. I had 5x U6-Mesh after ditching the Google/Nest Wi-Fi garbage. Now, I have U6-Enterprise running on PoE on dedicated copper. There's no substitute for the bandwidth afforded by physical media.

FS: U6-Mesh for cheap! ;)

Can you define slow as shit? Was it worse than the Google/Nest Wi-Fi things? I am aware ethernet drops would be faster, but I just don't need 1Gbps in my bedroom -- just for the connection to be reliable and of a reasonable speed. My benchmark to beat would be what my Eero mesh thing gets.
