Looking for a new Router or possible mesh system for my house. The house is wood framed and about 3000sqft duplex. My internet speed is 400mbps. I use it mostly for light PC gaming, cell phones browsing, and smart tvs 1080p streaming. I'm looking for something that's super simple to use without out much hassle of setting up and trouble shooting issues.
My current router is a ASUS AC1900. The router and modem are located on the farthest west side of the house and wifi is used a lot on the east side of the house. It works mostly fine for my uses but signal can be weak and does drop sometimes on the other side of the house. Also my duplex neighbors also use my wifi and would like to get stronger single in their side of the house if possible.
I have my gaming pc hooked up in the same room as the router and have an ethernet cable running to the pc and one more ethernet cable running through my crawlspace to reach the other side of the house, which I use to plug in directly into my TV for better/more reliable streaming experience.
I figure there's got be something better for this situation. I know a range extender plugged in the ethernet cable on the other side of the house would be ideal, which I had tried but I swear it seems like it just doesn't work as well as just directly plugging into the tv. So I'm looking at possibly getting a different Asus router with wifi6 or possible a mesh system like Orbi? What would you guys recommend?
