Looking to upgrade/boost my FIOS Gigabit internet for WFH. Router is in the basement and WiFi is spotty throughout the house. Does anyone have experience with Google Mesh or Amazon Eero Mesh networks to address dead spots?

Love my google Wi-Fi. 3 pucks in a 3 floor 2700 ft house. Never think about wireless coverage or speed. It just works.

like

I too have Google mesh. 4 pucks. Basement, main (kitchen), 2nd floor, loft floor. Signal everywhere. Good speeds

I have a Linksys velop and it works fine.. if cost is a concern feel free to start with that

Just make sure whatever you pick is mesh - all good options really

I recently bought the new TP Link Deco WiFi 6 mesh setup. I have gigabit and at the main hub I’m seeing 900+ up and down. Almost all other devices that matter are seeing 400+

I have my gateway set to bridge mode and letting the Deco handle the routing and DHCP since it’s more powerful... advise you do the same with whatever setup you choose.

Researching this option now. Seems to be the beat option to try first. Thank you!

I have found that netgear powerline 2000 is a good option for when you meed reliability in connection, e.g. with your work computer.

I've got an eero Pro setup with my FiOS Gigabit. I previously had an Asus router in the basement of my TH, but the signal was weak two stories up where my office was.

I got the Pros and now have units on each level with rock solid wifi throughout the house.

The Pro is on back order with no timeline :( I went with TP-Link. If it doesn’t do it for me, I’m sending it back and trying the Pro.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
