Hi Furry, what Wi-Fi 7 devices do you have connected and are you having any issue with Wi-Fi calling? Home is mainly wood, it is 5085 square feet If you include the guest house. The house is 3 stories and I have a satellite in the window to help give that area better coverage. The YouTube video at the end states that one access point per floor is good and that's pretty much what I have with one additional one in the kitchen. That YouTube video does not discuss Wi-Fi 7 however nor WiFi calling. I have disconnected two satellites before and just used one router with one satellite and I was not getting reliable gigabit internet with Wi-Fi 7 in each room. I added two more satellites to make sure that the internet connection would remain on Wi-Fi. 7 as much as possible in each room. The drop zones in the kitchen and porch and washing machine room do not occur with the additional satellites. The Wifi calling is the major issue when going from room to room. I unplugged two satellites again just to see what would happen and the internet dropped to 300 or 400 Mbps in the kitchen compared with 1Gbps and WiFi calling was able to hop on mobile network like usual sometimes it drops during this process. I have about 30 or 40 ft between satellites Netgear should state you can't have more than one satellite if it becomes unstable however, I have the same issue either way. Hopefully there will be some updates that will help with the Wi-Fi calling issues. I'm posting this with voice to text on my Google pixel 9 pro XL so I apologize if there are any typos.
