Looking for guidance on setting up your home network?
I'm organizing your home network setup and need some guidance. You reside in a 1300 sqft condo with Telus Gigabit internet. Telus placed their latest Wifi 6 router in the living room, but performance has been inconsistent, particularly in the bedroom. You're considering switching to a mesh Wi-Fi system or exploring other options. You looked into the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 mesh and are also interested in Ubiquiti solutions, as they seem popular among tech enthusiasts. The Ubiquiti setup is a bit confusing for you, so you're unsure about components and placement. You sketched your space and marked key areas. Your gaming PC and TV are hardwired via Ethernet, using pass-through ports for devices like the TV and Xbox. Any router connected to those ports must support Ethernet connectivity. You have an Ethernet cable in the bedroom that connects from the laundry room where the Telus modem is located. All your Ethernet cables start from the laundry room. You're thinking about placing the main hub in the living room and a second unit in the bedroom. Could you use the bedroom's Ethernet port as a backup line for better stability? For Ubiquiti, would you install a Dream Router in the living room and a U6 mesh in the bedroom?
