6+

Your son who games will not be happy with WiFi, he'll need to be connected by Ethernet to be happy. I'd suggest Leaptel an eero 6+ 2 pack and a cheap 1 gbps ethernet switch. Ethernet switch will most likely cheaper bought online along with some short ethernet cables. Connect Eero 6+ into NBN NTU wit

KISS... Thats' the best approach to be honest. Used to manage an avg 15K daily devices on wifi network at an EDU with Aruba gear. For years I was doing DD-WRT, then OpenWRT and Aruba instant gear. One day so a good sale at Costco for a 4pack of Eero 6. Switched and now leave work at work. Again, KIS

I’ve had no issues with my eero 6+ units. They are wired backhaul. All HomeKit and matter devices work flawlessly. Even the ones that are at the edge of the WiFi bubble.

Mesh by name is a system that connects over WiFi to each other node. One is a router and in the case of Fios, you can connect directly to the ONT and not use the supplied router. The system manages all nodes, channels and power levels. They also help clients roam around. But most allow them to be in

I would use the Amazon Eero mesh wi-fi system. It is designed for someone who’s not an expert. The set of three Access Points (APs) should do it for your house.

You’ll have less coverage… The IW serie is made for hotel rooms, where we install one in EACH room, or for offfice desks (same, 1 per room). The fact that you didn’t mount on ceiling is not very bad, we install more on walls (vertical), in top part of closets, over furnitures, in false ceiling close

Your problem is simple. The router Spectrum gave you is weak, and it is sitting too far from your room. You do not need Ethernet in every room, and you do not need to touch the coax ports at all. Ignore the video you saw. You also do not want a “wifi extender.” Those cut your speed in half because t

I have a Lenovo workstation and several laptop project boxes behind a hybrid smart switch that is daisy chained off an ethernet port and then running a wireless backhaul off a upstairs in my home. My main "box" is an esxi with multiple VMs on it and it works amazingly well. The set and forget it is

The future (in wifi) seems to be about 3-5 years, wifi 8 is already in the beginning process of being drafted - so futureproofing is a bit foolish in tech world really. Also, unless you need wifi 7 for some particular reason (and your speed says no), there's good reason to let it mature in the marke
