Need advice on improving Wi-Fi coverage in my 3-story house

Mesh is what you need, kahit 2 lang, run a cable to the 2nd floor, then the 2nd mesh somewhere na may line of sight nung 1st mesh mo. Deco S4, Deco M5, Deco M4 pero I would Suggest getting Deco X10 or x20 for Wifi6 technology. Budget wise naman, go for the Deco S4(ceiling type) or M4 or M5 (tower ty

WiFi doesn't reach kitchen or back garden, rest of house is fine. What's best option?

Have a look at something like the TPLink Deco M5 - I’ve 3 to extend the range of the WiFi throughout the house. Loads of similar options

My Parents’ WiFi keeps disconnecting on their computer.

Nothing you've said provides much information of use, the Ethernet "Played up"? What do you mean played up, its a cable. Then the Wi-Fi dongle "Played up"? What does this mean? Start right at the beginning, the make/model and specs of their PC so others know what they have, what is your Virgin route

Anyone doing dynamic VLANs on wifi?

I have it working on TP Link Deco M5 APs. These are not yet officially supported, but will be soon, and they work just fine. You cannot use 802.11r fast roaming because this often loses the VLAN and dumps the STA back onto the default/base network. You need to configure using /etc/config/wireless ra

Reasonable Home Network Setup?

people, quit downvoting OP. they are obviously beginner and are eager to learn. that's a good thing. on consumer hardware, enabling a "guest network" will, in reality, set up a separate VLAN in the backend of the system- hidden away from the user. the reason why it's only available via wifi on consu

Sky Stream UI is abysmal

Happy Sky Stream user here. Been using it for about 3 months and it’s fine. We don’t have full fibre to our house as it’s not available in my area. We use a 5G router with unlimited data plan connected to a set of Deco M5 hubs. My two Sky Stream boxes are connected by Ethernet to the nearest Deco hu

The glazing has to stop

you don’t even need a wifi 7 router technically. i’m still on a 3-pack of Deco M5’s that i bought 4 years ago so it’s at least that old. any decent router from the last 5 (maybe even 10) years is probably fine.

Best budget option for mesh wifi with dual band.

I'd go with the TP-Link Deco M5 solid budget mesh, dual-band, easy setup. Covers your size home fine. Wi-Fi 6 is nice, but not a must unless you’ve got a lot of newer devices. Deco M5 (Wi-Fi 5) should be enough.

They think I'm crazy

The latency is really specific to everyone’s own setup and then the things they don’t have control over, external factors right behind the router all the way to Nvidia. What works for you might not work for everyone. I’ll say I have really rarely issues and most of the time I’m using a wired connect
