Okay. I'll give it a shot with new mesh setup. I was going to do that anyway. Thanks

One thing I forgot to mention. We live in a rural place where there is no cell coverage, so even phone calls must be over wifi.

If your home is wired with Ethernet, you’d just make sure all the routers are plugged in via Ethernet I believe.

If your home isn’t wired with Ethernet throughout, hiring someone to do that, at least in your future server room, is a good move.

Honestly I know we had this mesh setup before covid, so maybe it's an earlier generation. Getting a new mesh system makes sense. Can you explain Ethernet backhaul? Wiring a few computers makes sense. Edit: I googled backhaul. I don't think that would work, since the devices are far apart and on different floors.

Two Routers In Home Network?

Oh!

Well, that system is pretty old. Amazon says it was released in 2020. Might be worth upgrading to something newer.


Our system is old too but everything bandwidth intensive (full node, tv) is wired so it ain’t too bad.

You’ll either want to increase capacity by upgrading to a newer system, or decrease consumption by wiring things that don’t need to be on Wi-Fi.

There are also a fair number of configuration parameters with these things that are worth playing with.
