New Around Here
I have a 2500 sqft house (and a large backyard). The way the house was set up is we keep our modem/router in my room, which is in one corner of the house - so already not the ideal location.
I'm trying to debate which router / mesh network combo I should go with next given my Orbi died. The Orbi performed well, but apart from general Orbi crap (like having to reboot every week or two because speeds dropped dramatically) and dead spots/poor coverage areas (with one satellite), I'm not sure what the best set up would be for me.
Because the house was built two decades ago, we don't have ethernet running everywhere. I don't want to mess with coaxifi either given our house isn't really wired for that either [we tried to move the modem/router outside my room when we switched to Cox, but the technician said he couldn't do it. Not sure how much truth was behind that, but that isn't an option]. I want to avoid ceiling mounting as well (I know it's the better way, but I want to avoid anything that requires drilling holes, etc.).
I'm not sure if I should go with either an AIMesh set up or two routers (with one being an AP) or a mesh network.
