Nighthawk Whole Home Wifi 6 Mesh System (MK62) or Wifi 6 Mesh Range Extender (EAX20)?
I just got AT&T Fiber in my home. It came with a Wifi 6 Router. I ran speedtest throughout the house and in most places I am getting excellent speeds. There are a couple of rooms with fairly weak ...
What att router is it?
And are you having to pay to rent it?
I usually tell people to avoid dual band mesh systems unless they're planning on hardwiring in the satellites. Reason is that the satellites run at half the speed the primary router does. this happens becuase they don't have a dedicated backhaul like the tribands do. so they have to go router---satellite and then satellite---devices using the same wireless chip and they can't do both at once. Versus the triband setups have a dedicated wireless link from router---satellite.
so depending on what router you have (if it is a solid performing one), I'd probably go with either something like the EX8000 (triband AC extender), EAX20, or EAX80 versus the MK62 system.
