It's the new way to tackle larger spaces. Yes we can chat about powerline WiFi systems but now that mesh is out, that's the new way to tackle this one.
Look For a little advice from someone who knows. I live in a large home built in the early 90's that is about 5,000SF. I have a lynksys 1600 and it just can't handle the space or the amount of devices we have. I live in a farm, so there is zero competition.
I'm looking at the google wifi 3 pack. Or should I look at a monster like the asus 5300? I'm not a huge gamer, but at any moment we have a minimum of 2 or 3 devices streaming along with multiple other devices.
