But if the data isn't coming through the power, and your Wi-Fi signal isn't strong enough at the top, plus I don’t have much room to run cables inside walls...
With extra funds and more time, I’d definitely switch everything into a single router, making it look much more professional.
My Synology RT2600 AC is functioning perfectly, though it seems expensive for its capabilities. Living in a two-story home with just 1300 square feet, the WiFi coverage works well overall. However, since both the modem and router are located on the second floor, I experience strong signals throughout the house.
Consider swapping its firmware for OpenWRT. The Xiaomi Mi 3G could work as an access point. Though it won’t match a business router, it should beat most consumer routers on the market (even high-end ones) that cap at around 1200Mbps—about 300Mbps on 2.4GHz and 866Mbps on 5GHz N, plus 300Mbps on AC. It’s also a great value, priced near $40 to $60.
