We just bought our first house in the 'burbs. Use MoCA or hire low voltage company to install Cat6e?
I've been using MoCA for 11+ months, zero hassles in that time. It's cheaper than running Ethernet too. See https://github.com/Preston-Landers/MoCA-setup-guide for an overview of the typical process. He estimates up to $500. I spent $132. Saved by getting Frontier FCA252 MoCA adapters off eBay (boug

Best WiFi Mesh UK
I use Asus ZenWifi XT8 mesh system (3 nodes) - detached house - all working flawlessly (cat 6 for ATV/Macs/gaming and wifi 6 for iPhones/security cameras etc.). Think there is a newer version of this one now though so have a check. Totally happy with performance and speed. EDIT - all nodes are CAT6

New to home networking
I've got Asus AiMesh (it was called that before the recent AI boom) and it works very well. I have an RT-BE92U as my main router and then two ZenWifi XT8's and an RP-AX56. I had the ZenWifi's before buying the BE92U in AiMesh and upgraded to the BE92U and kept the old routers to expand my coverage.

New forced contract on ASUS router - give us all your personal information
I am a fan of ASUS’s WiFi 6 products. My ASUS XT8 mesh system has been great (had it for over 5 years). However, ASUS’s WiFi 7 products are hit-or-miss. Not sure what the issue is, but they seem to have firmware issues with the new stuff (WiFi 7). Some people have issues, other people think it’s roc

How good is the GigaSpire router offered by GloFiber?
When I got Glofiber they had to run wires to and through my house so that is when they hooked up my original router. I switched to my new router a few years ago and did it all myself and haven’t had any issues. Their ONT fiber box is easy enough to run an Ethernet wire from. Take a look at reviews.

WiFi help needed/returning decos
The ASUS XT8 mesh system has worked well for me. It's only WiFi 6 (still has lots of life left in it; WiFi 7 is still fairly new, not well established yet in my opinion) and I think WiFi 6 is a good value right now. It's on this list as best WiFi 6 mesh: https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-wi-fi-me

Cheap Router/mesh system for Apartment
u/crispysmoove I agree with u/TheImmortal_TK that ASUS would be a solid pick for you. BTW I have the slightly older ASUS XT8 mesh system and it works well in wireless backhaul, as it's tri-band WiFi 6 (2.4/5/5ghz bands). One of the 5ghz bands is dedicated to mesh traffic and the other 5ghz is just f

Wireless backhaul acceptable?
I have the ASUS XT8 Mesh system. It's only WiFi 6 but has excellent range & has worked very well via wireless backhaul. It has a secondary 5ghz band just for Mesh communication. Even though it works very well, sometimes the Mesh node needed to be rebooted as it would lose connection to the Mesh rout

Amazon renewed archer AXE7800
Yes, Amazon Renewed has worked well for me. I bought a couple of products. One was in a broken state (fixed it), the second one was in like new condition, but needed a little tweaking to get working. The initially broken product: A Sonoff Zigbee USB dongle. I think it had the wrong firmware flashed
