If you have a "hefty router" than you are at least in the ~$2500-4000 spend range and most definitely didnt buy it from any brick and mortar store outside of maybe microcenter and its not a singular device, its multiple. Curious why you would invest that sort of money into a network if all you have

Youfibre 1000
I use a Netgear Nighthawk RAX50 router, no mesh setup and WiFi only on YouFiber 1000. I typically see speeds of between 950mbs/1000mbs, both up and down. Using WiFi 6 only, I can achieve that same speed on the third floor of my house, without a Mesh network, with my router situated two floors below.

Is it just me or does the gen 3 router have a terrible range in comparison to the gen 2? I just upgraded and I'm so disappointed in the range
Starlink actually publishes the spec for the Gen 3 router: claimed coverage up to 3,200 sq ft. For context, a common consumer router like the Nighthawk RAX50 is specced around 1,800 sq ft. That doesn’t mean everyone will see those numbers in their house, but it’s not accurate to say “no comparison.”

Upgrade wifi router options dir880l
Hey! Most modern routers will do 2.4GHz + 5GHz, which is perfect for your mix. For example: Asus RT-AX86U / RT-AX88U – super stable, great for gaming and streaming. Netgear Nighthawk RAX50 / RAX70 – handles many devices without slowing down. TP-Link Archer AX50 / AX73 – good balance of performance a

Poor internet service
It's a TP Link VX420G2v AX5400 WiFi 6. It's iinet current release. I have two with the standard network and then 3 more with a Netgear extender and one with a TP link junk extender. The TV is via an extender using 5g, this is directly behind the TV. It's working well for years like this.
