meshing?

lukasa

does sense support meshing ? or will it ever?

Unknown

The following is how I have understood it:

You can only have one sense device on the same network.

You can extend sense wlan range only with access points that support bridge mode.

 

So no mesh support currently.

Only F-Secure can answer if mesh will ever be supported.

lukasa

so is this place were f secure can answer?

Yes, but for faster answers contact them via support phone or chat.

lukasa

It does not even have a guest wifi or VPN server. How on earth would it suddenly have features from 500 € + price range when it is missing even the sub 100 € features?

lukasa

its not that high of price feature meny similar or cheaper products have it

Yeps, meshing price tag has lowered lately.

lukasa

just a router with meshing support you can get 125$ and with +2 meshing units 311$

Hi lukasa,

 

SENSE does not have meshing support. Meshing support is not in the near-term plans.

lukasa

oh one last question, is that any hardware limitation or purly software? so if in any future you guys start implementing it will current models work ?

Hi lukasa,

 

SENSE can’t be made Wi-Fi mesh capable by SW update. Mesh Wi-Fi needs a different HW architecture.

That said, SENSE is primarily a security router. Yes, there is built-in Wi-Fi that has a fairly good coverage.

If your home cannot be covered with the SENSE Wi-Fi, then probably a better solution would be to try a 3^rd party mesh Wi-Fi connected to SENSE.

Hence, we are not planning mesh support within SENSE in the near future.
