Asus XT9 (AX 6e) should do the trick. Wired backhaul or dedicated 5ghz channel for backhaul should work very well for your situation, and more than adequate for 1 GB connection. I personally have an ASUS AXE7800 as my main router with two XD6 as nodes in an 1800 square foot house (two-story with bas

I'm confident someone will suggest the best solution is not a router or mesh, but router + APs (access points) -- and I'd agree with them. To set that up you'd need to connect the APs via ethernet to the router. If that is possible, it will give you better and more reliable speeds throughout the hom

The key to 4K streaming on Stream is a strong stable WiFi signal or ethernet connection. I live in a 3 storey house and purchased an Asus mesh XT9 system which shares the broadband from the hallway. With good broadband your Stream should be fine (mine was). However, I cancelled for Sky's Now TV app

Third this. I've had Asus minis before and currently 4 XT9's. No issues.

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

Personally, I would return the WiFi range extender... what's the point of paying for a slower speed than you are getting from the router/ hub? As others have commented, a wired mesh system is best, but do you need it? I and my partner WFH with frequent Zoom & Teams meetings so we need a decent netwo

I just started with a Cloud Gateway Max and U7 Pro and love it. I moved off of an ASUS XT9 mesh because I want more control like separate VLANs for IoT devices, work computer, etc. The IDS/IPS is pretty good and the UniFi OS looks and functions very well. I use unifi poller and SIEM export to send a

I would go for the ASUS XT9. You can get two routers for about $200 currently. They do a fantastic job. If you want to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6e (I would recommend) you can get the ET9 model for about $30 more.

My ISP (Aquiss) supplies no hub or network equipment whatsoever. The speed, strength and reliability of my network is only as good as the equipment I purchase and use, which currently is 3 x Asus XT9 and an ancient Asus AC58U. System works a treat in my 3 storey house
