Building a Wifi mesh with Eeros

I run sound at my church and them knowing that I am a Network Engineer approached me about the Wifi. See the Wifi was outdated and could not handle the amount of traffic it was getting from staff, guest and devices accessing it so it was time for an update. I did some research to find the least expensive option with the least amount of tech savvy needed to continue administration of it should something happen. This research lead me to the eero and its extenders with its ability to have a primary network wand a sub network on it as well using wifi 6 as its base. As you can see below I created 5 different networks that span several buildings and large areas across the the church. This has helped to segment the network for security reasons, but also to break up the amount of traffic that was being sent across a single network. 

In each of the networks shown above I have deployed at minimum 2 extenders in each network and each network has its own password and IP pool that does not match the other. Below you will see the different networks and their extenders across the network. I created a specific network for our Kids Department, Worship Team, Staff, Guest and the other Church that meets on our campus. 

The only network that spans the entire area is the staff network as the staff moves around during the day and need access to network resources such as printers or storage drives. 

Since segmentation of the network I have seen increased satisfaction from users in performance and efficiency due to the decrease in lag/wait time for resources. Each eero network can handle up to 1gb up/down. While this is mainly a wifi driven network there are strategically placed routers acting as extenders to allow users to physically plug into the wifi mesh giving even greater stability and performance. I highly recommend this solution for cost and performance for small to medium businesses/locations. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
