what routers/access points should i buy?
You have roughly €300 to spend and need Wi-Fi coverage across two floors. Your setup involves a cable between them, so you’re looking for a router on the upper floor and one on the lower one. Based on your experience, 2.4GHz might be sufficient, though I doubt 5GHz will help much. You want dual-band capability and are not unfamiliar with basic networking concepts. I’m unsure if you need detailed floor plans or further advice, but the speed should jump up to 500 Mbps down the line. Mesh networking could work too, though I can’t say for sure.
It varies based on whether you intend to apply QoS as the Edge Router Lite, which reaches about 80Mbit.
