Internet tips for big houses.
Initially, the router's WAN Ethernet connection caps at 1Gbps, restricting LAN performance. To maximize speed, ensure a wired Ethernet link between modem and router supporting over 1Gbps (such as Cat6/6a) plus a multi-gig WAN port. Secondly, this mesh network operates on dual bands without a dedicated antenna for wireless backhaul, which can reduce overall throughput when multiple devices connect through mesh nodes. Distance and interference also constrain performance for clients at mesh points. Thirdly, install the newest firmware and disable QoS unless necessary for 1Gbps links. Verify speeds by connecting directly to the main router and then at each mesh node. For enhanced WiFi and mesh speeds, use unobstructed 80MHz channels on 5GHz bands; speed may drop with distance or blockage.
