I use Ethernet Over Powerline boxes so I avoid wireless altogether without needing to run cables. One wireless box is downstairs next to my router and the other is upstairs in my bedroom. It's the best of both worlds and more boxes can be added throughout the house at key places.
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?
