...I don't have the knowledge myself, which is why I came here as I thought I might find some help. Will start with removing the mesh and take a look at the AP options. Thanks

I am trying to identify the best new network setup based on a number of changes and demands now needed at home and home-based business. The problems have included wifi mesh dropping out, broadband dropping, Sky Q having continuous problems, passed from pillar to post with all suppliers (Sky...

No, the signal strength and house layout in the new place just didn't need as many. Now only have the main router and currently 2 APs, but will need to add one in the loft as a couple of devices on the 2.4Ghz struggle occasionally. Unlike before, this time each of the wifi stations are spread...

....in case anyone is still around, I've re-surfaced from the chaos of moving house...re-setup the home network, taking onboard the advice given here, using APs, suggested firmware and only a few of the network points on the router and... ...it's working like a dream...been in 2 months and not...

The house is in the UK so lots of concrete and block walls....but I obviously started with one, progressed to 2 in the past and measured signal strength....maybe some professional help is the "Rolls Royce" solution to the problem, but I thought I would come here first. Grateful for all the tips...

150sq meters at a guess

20 days...that is the stuff of dreams! Hoping with all the responses on this thread, now got some useful changes to make so maybe will be able to get close.

True...but using an app to measure the wifi signal it was showing there were a number of 'blackspots'...so tried to improve things. Whilst I am frustrated with some of the unreliability...this is still preferred to the moaning of teenagers and other half when the wifi doesn't work

The house is a 60's build, brick and block semi, but as with many properties, the incoming line isn't located in the best place for ideal router position. That said, we're moving to 90s built house to any physical challenge will be changing...as a single router setup before this...wifi was also...

...I just followed the guide on the Asus website that seemed to suggest I needed that many, but I need the connection to do some piggy backing as the garden office is a distance from the main router. 4 downstairs (3 in the house one in the garden building) and 1 upstairs....didn't seem to...

Thanks....I foolishly thought Mesh was the future....but just looked at some other posts and articles on the Mesh vs AP debate and it seems it is not a one size fits all approach. Moving house soon, perhaps another re-build is in order but switch over to the AP setup...thanks for the tip

...plus tonight's new "experience" every node in the mesh is reporting poor quality signal...there's been no changes to any setting or hardware...just another issue to add to the list of problems and unreliabilities this poor excuse of some network hardware likes to dish up on a regular basis!

My current setup is an AX88U as the main Router, with 5 Zen Wifi Mini boxes acting as mesh devices. Had the setup for a couple of years and I find it totally unreliable...I probably go no more than 1-2 weeks without an issue of some kind. The mesh nodes either individually or a combination of a...
