My house has 4 family members, 6+ mobile devices, 3 consoles, and 7+ security cameras (Yi home cameras) around the house. I have one main AC68U and the other one as media bridge for my PC and consoles. Range wise I am very happy with AC68U. But throughput is terrible when other family members are using it (I stream games and other family members using wifi causes stream extremely unstable). All other family members are on 2.4Ghz and I am the only one who's on 5Ghz. So to fix this issue, I thought about couple options.
1. Upgrade main router to something better ($160) (AX58U is on the list but will it be enough?)
2. Use MOCA adapters ($120) to directly connect to main router (I assume this won't fix since throughput will still drop?)
3. Buy a cheap AX router ($50~$80; Or use the other AC68U) and use it as 5Ghz router (If throughput is the issue disabling 5Ghz on AC68U and use another router to handle 5Ghz may fix througput issue?)
Thank you in advance. Please let me know if I am understanding Wifi/throughput conecept wrong.
