Hello all, I’ve been lurking and searching but seem to hit a wall and would appreciate some insight.
I Just moved in the countryside with poor cell coverage and trying to use wifi calling – it’s been okay, but get lack lister results often enough and feel I need to get a stronger main router or add a few more satellites (wireless). The modem is only a modem, not a router combo.
Unfortunately I can’t have wired backhaul, and I don’t have many connections so don’t feel wifi 6E/7 would gain much as wifi calling strength is paramount.
I currently have 2x XD5.
The XD5 doesn’t seem to offer granular QoS settings to prioritize phones for data (just wife and I, so minimal internet usage on 75Mbps).
I feel I am left to adding onto the 2x XD5 wifi 6 - but am wondering if going with me 2x ASUS XT9 or 2x ROG GT6 would produce better results than adding 3 more XD5?
Maybe getting newer router (AX68U Pro?) with actual QoS settings (unlike the XD5) feature might help, but sounds like that feature would be lost on the XD5 satellites don’t have this capability… the other concern is a newer wifi6E/7 won’t be as compatible with older XD5 wifi6 satellites… and even if I did go that route, guessing it would not have a stronger strength / range as just adding on?
What would you suggest on these options?
Big thanks in advance, I feel I’m at a loss and drop calls are getting to be too much
