Had to eat crow on wireless sensors after a job in Denver last month

I've always been a hardwired guy, thought wireless was for lazy installers who didn't care about reliability. Then I got a call to put a system in a 1920s brick building downtown where running wires meant drilling through 18 inches of solid masonry. Tried one Honeywell wireless kit on a panel and it's been solid for 4 weeks with zero dropouts. Has anyone else switched sides on a product they used to badmouth?

Did you have to beef up the Wi-Fi at all to keep it stable?

@leo_johnson nah, the standard router handled it fine for me without any extra boosters.

Our home is almost 3,000 square feet and honestly I was ready to buy a mesh system. @leo_johnson I used to think you had to spend a ton on boosters but after just using the standard router for a year now I've changed my mind. The signal reaches every room just fine and streaming never buffers unless the whole family is on at once.
