Wireless setups are popping up more in vacation towns I visit

I worked in a lakeside town last month. Many cabins now use mesh networks instead of wired internet. Is this affecting your installation work?

Yeah, that shift is totally changing the game for installs up in mountain towns too. Last fall, a whole neighborhood of seasonal homes went full mesh, and let me tell you, trying to get a stable connection for a security system during peak leaf-peeper season was rough. The bandwidth gets so spotty when every rental is streaming, it makes testing gear a real headache. You end up having to schedule jobs for weird hours just to avoid the network rush.

I once rebooted a router so hard I took out three Airbnb streams and felt like public enemy number one.

How bad does the bandwidth actually drop during those peak tourist weekends?
