I have an ISP provided Arris TG1672G router+modem with the wifi locked ON and an Asus RT-AC56U in AP mode (I really hate this router but that's another story) next to each other trying and failing badly to cover inside and outside of a 2 story concrete and steel house taking up over 2/3 of a 50' x 100' lot. For whatever reason, my neighbours give me better wifi coverage than my own equipment. I started looking at wifi 6 and mesh solutions. The Eero Pro 6 looked like the jack of all trades and was ready to pull the trigger but then I happened upon Easymesh standard while combing the Amazon Prime deals today. Should I lock myself into a proprietary mesh network when there is a vendor *neutral solution? I rather not. What would yall recommend for total coverage, ability to stream 4K x264 movies from a NAS and 250/15 Mbps internet connection? Initially, the devices will have to link wirelessly but I do have plans to pull cat6 copper to most rooms. bound points if the AP can supply ethernet ports and I can get a prime day deal on it.
