I'm evaluating suitable Wi-Fi options for your residence. Your internet speed is currently between 150-200 Mbps, but Wi-Fi performance drops below 5 Mbps in some areas. The router is fixed in place and can't be relocated. You're considering a modem-router combo from your ISP. Looking for a solution under $150 for a 1,500 sq ft two-story home.

Suggest using a Ubiquiti UniFi AC AP Pro. Position it near the center of the home, considering all levels. Remember to connect a cable from the router to the access point for optimal placement.

Or consider an extender with very limited choices.

Using powerline adapters can help skip the need for a cable from the router to the access point. * disclaimer * I’m not familiar with powerline adapters and can’t confirm if it’s a safe choice, as I also lack a clear understanding of how they function. It’s best to look into this further before deciding.

I'm not sure which router you're referring to. Could you provide more details or clarify your question? Please don't also mention the band unless it's relevant.

It was merely a suggestion. I mentioned that.
