My sister has the same mesh system and it performs kinda like yours. My guess its just a limitation of the system. You could have other sources of WiFI interference as well. A lot of things play in to the performance of WiFi. Which is why most important things should be connected to Ethernet. If you have an Android device handy WIFI analyzer is a good tool for looking at the spectrum to see if you have other networks interfering. It can also show signal strength stats and such. But if the satellite indicates a good signal, there is not much you can do. While Mesh is better than using WiFi extenders which are hot garbage, they still are not fool proof when it come to performance.
It’s likely yes. Using mesh provides more consistent speed, but without nodes it drops even faster as you move away from the central point or AP. Finding the right balance means placing the closest nearby node near the main one for optimal return speed while maintaining good coverage. Adding extra nodes helps, though it depends on whether they have a dedicated backhaul radio. Also, some budget mesh systems are just managed extenders; if they lack a proper backhaul radio, they won’t outperform standard extenders beyond smoother handoffs between devices.
