My house comprises a ground floor, a first floor, and a second floor (what I'd describe as more of an attic, used for guest accommodations). The ground floor (so the base of the house) is where we spend the majority of our day and consists of three rooms, now mentioned as 1-g, 2-g, and 3-g...

Hello, good Sunday and thank you for your answer. Via LAN cable, on the Media Bridge, I get the following speed: Is not super fast, but it's more than enough speed to let the 2 devices connected via LAN to work properly. My typical approach involves positioning the node in room number 3...

Good day, after turning off the VPN, I get the same speed as when it was active: Above, is the result of my laptop being connected from the room number 3 directly to the router. I have now activated once again the Media Bridge in the room number 2, and the NODE in the room number 3. Instead...

Forgive me, after more than 12 hours fighting with routers, I feel done :) Only one device is connected via VPN, and it's a TV decoder. Yes, the laptop was always connected and placed in the room number 3 as shown in the picture. Yes, I read multiple post for different topic, in all of them...

Ok, I tried all the possible combinations, here the results: XT8 stock firmware, placed in the room number 1, no other devices turned on, only 1 laptop and 1 phone connected. Stock configuration. Result: 420mb in speed test. XT8 Merlin* firmware (388.2_2_0-gnuton1), placed in the room number...

Thank you for the advice, I will switch the 5GHz-2 to 160 and make some test. In the meantime, I took some measurements of the room, here is the updated version. Measurements are not really precise, but definitely can be taken into consideration:

This is the Wi-FI card on my Windows laptop: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/211485/intel-killer-wifi-6e-ax1675-xw/specifications.html I checked the Power Plan and everything is set properly. I tried anyway with the charger on the laptop, room number 1, here is the result...

This is the speed I get via LAN to the XT8 router: I can confirm that Enable QoS on the router it's OFF

I see, sorry I completely misunderstood the idea. Now I'm located in the room number 1, close to the router:

Thank you for your suggestion. I can confirm that now I have only my laptop connected to the 5GHz-2 Wi-Fi, I changed the Channel Width to 80MHz and I'm located in the middle of the room number 3. This is what I get:

Here it is:

Hello L&LD, thank you very much for your detailed explanation, really appreciated. As a first quick test, since the XT8 was set today with a new fresh configuration, I turned off the 2 nodes in the room number 2 and 3, and I'm now connected to the router only (XT8) located in the room number 1...

Hello Colin, thank you for your answer. I can confirm as written in the configuration number 2 that I tried using the XT8 as main router as well, unfortunately, with the same result. The node in the room number 2 is unfortunately necessary, as I have some devices running via LAN and can't be...
