Look for something better than Linksys Velop WHW03
Hi guys ive currently got a velop WHW03 3 node mesh system. On a whole it's not to bad. It gives me full wifi in my hole house but it's the speed I'm not happy with. I'm currently with Virgin UK ...
Even if you upgraded to a wifi 6 mesh network, while it would be a faster systems, usually the limiting device is what you're testing on. Not the mesh system itself.
The WHW03 was a fairly high ranked AC system.

So it might not have been the mesh holding you back but your device itself.
What are you testing on?
Why do you want speeds >250mbps over wireless? Most wireless usage isn't getting close to needing those speeds. For example, 4k streaming only needs 25-40mbps.
I'm mainly using apple devices to test speeds.
if I connect direct to virgins WiFi I can get 400-500 mbps on my iPhone but only 200 tops through the velop, both in the same room. Just the virgin hub 4 doesn't reach down stairs that well
