Hi all,
I live in a house composed by groundfloor, first floor, mezzanine and basement (overall ~150sq/m) and I currently have the following set up:
Router on the ground floor: RT-AC87U (running Asus Merlin fw)
Wifi AP on the first floor: RT-AC68U (wired, in bridge mode, to extend wireless)
Wifi extender in the basement: RP-AC56 (again wired to extend wireless).
I use the same SSID/password for wifi on the three devices, but I get frequent disconnections and issues which is extremely painful in a work from home mode.
I was thinking to upgrade to wifi 6 and mesh (if it makes sense) and especially I would like a reliable wifi connection at home.
I have been suggested to go for a Unifi system with a Dream Machine and a couple of FlexHD, but it seems relatively expensive and not wifi 6 (which however I could not use now...)
I would happily keep using Asus products, especially as it seems that the RT-AC68U supports mesh, so I would have one item less to purchase.
What is your advice? Thanks!!
