Need help to determine what to buy
Sorry this is kind of broad but I am looking for some help in designing what my purchase(s) should be. I have a 3 story home, my ISP router is a Bell (Canada) Home Hub 3000 with 1.5 gig download and...
For that kind of ISP service, to take full advantage of that, you'd want something that has a 2.5Gb speed rated WAN port and AX wifi. Unfortuneately there isn't alot of router with 2.5Gb rated LAN ports as of yet. Orbi RBK8 series and RAX200 and RAXE500 has 2.5Gb Rated WAN ports.
Here is my house Layout, all the TV's are smart TV's. 1 PC is wifi, other is Ethnet. Here is the typical things in the house
3 x ipads
3 x iphones
1 x samsung
2 x alexa
security system on its own router
1 x wifi printer
4 x smart tvs
1 x roku recevier
1 x firestick
2 x xboxs
1 x PC on wifi
In the current configuration, my son right about the office and my daugther in the bedroom 2 can barely get a signal. If i walk out the back porch I do not receive a signal, even right outside. Master Bathroom has no signal
