Setting up a new network

[sandcracker21]

I apologize for being a complete noob, but was hoping to get some help:

I'm moving to a new place that is relatively big, approximately 3400 square feet. I've been running a Motorola SB6120 modem with a Linksys router at my old place but think I might need a mesh setup now?

I'm going with att fiber 1GB internet and want to use my own hardware. I'll probably need a new modem, right? What setup should I go with??

Thanks for the help! Haven't messed with networking in so long I'm a little clueless !

You'll have to use the ATT gateway on the edge as they do dot1x authentication, plus it's not cable so your SB6120 won't work.

You might be able to pick up a couple Ubiquiti APs if you want a roaming setup, if it's possible to run cabling to the locations you want then that would be the best setup, basically a mesh but with wired backhaul. Most mesh setups use a different wireless frequency back to the main station.

Yea thats what I feared. Would it be possible to use the att gateway and then my own mesh system? I don't want to use wifi extenders bc I hate the hassle of switching between different wifi logins
