I reside in a home filled with many internet users, and I'm searching for solid mesh Wi-Fi solutions. My needs include: high-quality video streaming and low-latency gaming. If anyone has recommendations, please add them in the comments.

Hello there! I'm glad you're considering Ubiquiti APs for your mesh setup. It really varies based on your needs and space. Could you share more about the size of your home and your budget?

Personally I have had good experiences with AVM's (Fritz) equipment. Quite a variety of devices, but depending on the size of the home/office it needs to supply for WiFi, you could get away with 2 to 3 WiFi routers. TP-Link's Deco stuff is alright too. Ubiquiti has quite a wide variety of devices too, which can work nicely as well. Haven't had as good experiences with Netgear Orbi or Asus Lyra. Asus' mesh on their routers supposedly is pretty good, but I have not experiences with that.

I enjoy working with the Ampli-Fi setup, which is quite large for a standard router. This unit offers mesh functionality and two powerful transmitters for mounting on walls.

I need about seventy dollars for a two-story family home.

You'll require significantly more than what's currently available to create a mesh.

70 Dollars won't provide a solid mesh setup. For a quality system, expect to spend around 200 to 300 USD. At that cost, using a consumer router such as the Asus AC66U or Tp-link Archer A9 in bridge mode would be the most practical choice.

I concur that streaming video games remains unfeasible for numerous individuals due to the lack of widespread Ethernet connectivity in homes.

It seems you're asking about a possible improvement or alternative. Could you clarify what you mean by "streach" and "option"?

MiMo works with a 3x3 layout on most consumer gadgets. On 5GHz networks, his advertised speed from the ISP will set the cap for streaming. This varies based on your setup environment. Heavy interference can cause instability since multiple devices share the same channels. Choosing better channels may improve performance.
