[StraussBR]

perfect explanation for the precise question i had
all my wireless endpoints have a direct cabled connection to my lan, chaining all aps together to make a single mesh network would not make sense in this situation

Wired AP or Router, more into customisation and multiple requirements

ex; the office have multiple rooms require SSID, firewalls, settings and allocation bandwidth speed for each room.

big weakness, expensive
big strength, customisation and security



Wireless Mesh, mostly for convenient

ex; the office have one big room with hundreds user and fairly dense.
but just need a single login site and simple speed limit for each active user.

big weakness, latency
big strength, cheaper and convenient

New mesh are 2.5 mhz or higher. 2.5 is two and 1/2 times faster than wire 1000
