I know most probably wont care, but I thought it couldn't hurt to share that I found out the mesh Wi-Fi solution AT&T has been planning to offer for months is finally available. I stumbled on the product page accidentally. https://www.att.com/accessories/specialty-items/att-smart-wifi-extender.html#sku=sku8150271
They sell it directly on the AT&T site for $35 as the "AT&T Smart Wi-Fi Extender", but its just a AirTies 4920 (3x3 5Ghz / 2x2 2.4 Ghz, two Ethernet ports) http://www.airties.com.tr/datasheets/Air4920_EN.pdf which a few other ISP's make use of as well (such as frontier).
It's only compatible with the Pace 5268AC and BGW 210. I'm thinking about grabbing one, not because the coverage from my 210 is bad, but the $35 price seems a cheap fee to get a mesh network setup and have a really strong signal through the entire house. Probably even outback down by the pool since I can connect to my 210 there its just a bit flaky. So I'm thinking what the hell, and I'm curious to see how it works. If I order one I'll post info and my experience.
