I'm looking for some ideas after checking online—no matches I found. The space is 1500 sq ft, but I want something a bit more than basic. Only around 8 to 10 gadgets should fit, and I'm aiming for a budget of $100 to $150. Any suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks!

What internet rates are you receiving from your provider? For a typical single-level home with drywall walls, one of the choices listed should suffice if you place the access point in the main room. WiFi 5 setup: Edgerouter-X ($50) combined with UAP-AC-Lite ($90) equals $140. Alternatively, WiFi 6 configuration: Edgerouter-X ($50) plus U6-Lite-US ($100) results in $150. With the newest firmware and hardware offloading active, the ER-X can support speeds near 1Gbps. On the access point end, the UAP-AC-Lite can reach up to 867Mbps under perfect settings for 802.11AC. Or the U6-Lite-US can deliver up to 1.2Gbps in ideal scenarios with WiFi 6 clients enabled.
