Dual ISPs
Dual ISPs
I actually have two ISPs connected to my place—one offers unlimited data and the other has a 5 TB cap at 300 Mbps. The unlimited plan forces me to use their proprietary router combo, which they claim is being used to intercept my calls. The other one lets me pick any router and provides a modem, which is why I’m considering mesh networking. It seems a bit uncertain, but someone could please review my post and assist me.
It was meant as a follow-up to the larger discussion about internet speeds, not a separate thread.
Which ISPs are you using? The provider’s name seems to be based on your username. From what you mentioned, it looks like you’re in India—probably Jio Fiber or Airtel. I have to admit, stealing my data is really annoying, and it’s surprising how serious this issue is. Even though some anonymous sources say Jio shares user data with advertisers, Jio has consistently denied those allegations.
The mesh setup involves connecting your Ax 20 to the internet line and Theon with a Re 605x, while a Re 200 is linked to it. It appears the devices aren't syncing properly in the mesh network, and the extenders aren’t establishing connections to the router.
What size apartment would you need for a mesh network? Would you ever exceed 5TB per month? If so, how much extra charge applies? I wouldn't rely on the company that handles the modem/router to share your data just because you use your own equipment. You might be able to locate "compatible" devices by contacting them directly, but it's crucial to understand what data they gather.
It's also true that if an ISP tried to access your data, they'd probably do it through their main routers, not your personal router. With varying levels of support, it's unlikely they know exactly what the ISP is doing—they might just express a view that was completely misguided.
