Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender


In anyone’s experience, does implementing a pricier Mesh network yield any sonic advantages to just using a good Wi-Fi extender and running a good Ethernet cable from that?  From people who have very good streamer setups it seems like using a simple but good Wi-Fi extender from TP-Link etc. is more than fine.  Thoughts?

You almost never move your streamer through your home while playing music, so I don't think switching would be a real problem.  I do believe in keeping things simple though.  Mesh is great for large homes with lots of square feet to cover, including when you are looking for coverage say at the pool and the garage, that sort of thing.

Read the reviews on any extenders carefully too though, as I've had really mixed experiences far worse than audio quality.
