First up, Is Google's 'Nest' the same as my 4 piece WiFi Mesh system I bought at Costco? That's already confusing, but it gets better! I got all 4 Mesh Points (units) distributed throughout the one-story house and all show "great connection" when running the supplied test. I have set the WiFi on my phone & tablet to the first Mesh point named "Office Desk", which is wire connected to my Modem/Router and shows the strongest signal one of all my other WiFi's. Here is where I'm ignorance gets in the way:
Why does the WiFi meter on my tablet show 8 (eight) different set of numbers or addresses for the same initial point ("Office Desk")? Here is one example: (b0:6a:41:e8:0e:15)
When I walk through the house, away from the first Point "Office Desk" where the WiFi meter is on top, the meter goes down, even though I walk by the other 3 points. If I stop and find the right one of the other 7 named "Office Desk", the meter up again. My question is: Shouldn't the other Mesh Points carry on the signal? Isn't that the entire purpose of a Mesh? I'd appreciate any good advice. 🙂
