Hello,
Currently I got just Vodafone Wifi 6 (https://www.vodafone.cz/pece/en/internet-data/devices/vodafone-station-wifi6-tg6442-en/) in my living room under TV and next to PS5.
But even my PS5 sometimes drops connection, I read that issue can be it's too close.
Also my PC that it's in another room (15-20m far away from router, 2 walls) got issues. Sometimes even when I directly ping router, it times out or latency is even >100ms. (in the future I would like to stream 4k 60/120fps to TV). Usually restart of router helps. Wifi signal seems okay, I achieve even 700Mbps there.
On wifi there are around 10 devices.
Best way would be to wire it, but I don't want to do it...
First thing that comes to my mind was to buy duo pack of tp-link deco x75 pro. Put one in living room on the shelf (so not under TV anymore), bridge to it by cable from ISP router. And put another one in my other room (using wireless backhaul, 6Ghz?) and then wire it to PC.
But afterwards I read https://www.wiisfi.com/ and I'm little lost. It's recommended to buy some router that supports 4x4 MIMO but that seems too expensive. E.g. tp-link be800, but probably overkill and also not sure if it helps with wifi stability in. my other room, I would probably need to buy another AP?
Last option that I don't like much is to buy powerline adapter and just more budget friendly router (<150USD), but I read mixed reviews about this technology and still I would like to utilize my 1Gbps internet.
WDYT?
