I have a virgin media fibre connection at home, which is fine, however their Hub 3.0 cannot provide a wifi signal to the front of the house due to a 5m corridor - with solid stone walls. I have a Linksys 6400 extender (in loft above front of house) connected to the hub with an .Ext SSID but it cannot achieve a sound/dependable connection from the hub. Speedtest often fail to find a server via the extender but are booming when near the hub 3.0.
I have been looking at the ASUS XT8 pair of WIFI 6 nodes - which appear to be able to connect via a WIFI6 Backhaul between each other, reviews seem to qualify that this may deal with my corridor issue - but this is constantly not available in stock to buy and the Orbi option is just too stupidly expensive. What do you think my options could be? A new router (turning the virgin hub into a modem only) that could be wired to an Access point at the front of the house would be an option (removing the wifi backhaul) the Gig limits of CAT6 would be sufferable! Or is there an alt option....?
Connected devices are typically phones,r Macbook laptop and a Ring doorbell
