Cheap Router/mesh system for Apartment

u/crispysmoove I agree with u/TheImmortal_TK that ASUS would be a solid pick for you.

Should I get a mesh network?

Hi u/carrootscaps - I’m a different person than who you replied to but I think I can answer the questions. “True mesh” and “marrying” means a system built from the ground up to be a mesh system, with client handoff between mesh nodes. “Handoff” ensures if you are using a device that moves around the
