Hello everyone, I'm trying to understand my WiFi situation in the house. The current setup is complicated, and the diagram shows blue lines for the upper floor and green for the lower floor. Due to building regulations and the structure of the house, installing cables outside or inside walls isn't feasible, so I'm limited to powerline technology—which isn't ideal. WiFi typically works only up to two walls, so I think a mesh network with powerline extension or dedicated radio backhaul would be the best fit. I currently have two networks, plus one guest network, and I want to combine them during this upgrade. I've considered TP-Link Deco, Asus AirMesh, Ubiquiti solutions (which seem slower and need more cabling), and AmpliFi gear. Did I overlook anything? What do you think would be the most suitable choice? P.S. As someone based in the EU, I need to consider whether some equipment might be too costly or difficult to ship here.
