€400 for a wireless router? Go get yourself a couple of UniFi access points and an edge router or USG... If you're going to pay pro prices, get pro gear not this abomination of a device.

HH, out of curiosity what do you think is better, getting one of these big strong routers or getting Mesh wifi or powerline adapaters to cover dead house areas

There's no clear-cut answer to it. That depends very much on your house and neighborhood WIFI spots really. With a normal sized house and router, you're not going to need mesh/repeaters. A mesh or repeater or extra access point is handy for sure in places where you run out of signal. I cannot really justify this much money on a router, however, it did fill every spot in my house with WIFI and there are roughly 30 to 40 WIFI SSID points in my house that I can scan (neighbors etc) as I live in the city.

I am not a fan of powerline adapters, they consume quite a bit of energy, are prone to disturbances and are very dependant on your electric wiring. If you have to run them over a different group, perf drops so fast. However, they are very handy to use in places where you need a bit of internet.

Honestly, the best way is to run an ethernet wire to say your attic and create an access point. If you can't my second suggestion would be a mesh or repeater setup.

Same here, at this price pont range its way better to get dedicated enterprise level components from Ubiquity.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn
fully agree wit you there, powerline adapters are
- unreliable,
- expensive (at least for gigabit speeds)
- do not work over different phases (in my case 3-phase home electricity distibution, each room different phase)
- do not work well or at all over UPS, power line conditioner, surge protection or filter.
- vulnerable to security attacks from any point on same power line.

They should be as last resort when nothing else works.
