WIFI extender recommendation

[backstreetboy]

Duh! - no one refers to WiFi 5 - why you confusing the OP - imagine they walk into a shop and ask for WiFi 5? I shudder at the kuk the salespeople will spout....

Sure they do. Way easier than remembering N, AC, AX etc. I see many Wifi 6 devices listed on Incredible.

Besides, that's just bad advice - a new WiFi router is nowhere near as effective as a MESH system.

Will be much much better than the old Wifi 4 device OP currently has.

Fair comment - but what would be more helpful is recommending a specific model - OP will be lost looking for a WiFi 5 router

Asus ZenWiFi XD4 AX1800 Mesh WiFi System 3pk​

Anyone with experience using this as a reasonably priced WiFi 6 alternative? Or are there alternatives?

If the mesh system is out of your budget, you can just get a cheap wifi router and use it as an access point. You will need a network cable from your main router to this one, and then set it to AP mode. Then you can set the wifi to use the same settings as your main wifi network (but on a different channel).

I have used some of these to increase coverage. Much cheaper than a mesh system. Works great if you don't need high wifi speeds (just normal streaming/browsing, not sure how fast these will go).

Well I'm currently using an older Tenda D301 as an ap. I have no idea what Tenda is doing to their routers, but eeesh those things penetrates though wall allot more expensive models from named brands can only dream of with huge range.

Come to think of it, maybe the named brands gives bad signal to the get people spending on add ons.

But if you can get a unifi ap going, it's just as good and more expensive. Well worth the investment though. If you have one, just set it up with the app.

Sorry furpile, I've replied to you and op in one go.
