Meshforce M3, 3 pack for $179 ($159 w/coupon). We bought this system about a year ago and it is robust and flawless. I can see my home network from half a block away in every direction.

thanks WmC, I'll look at the canadian options for that! I would prefer not to give Amazon my $$ if it can be helped.

Yeah, I'm sure there are alternatives to Bezos-prime for that. Can't recommend that system highly enough.

wow, why is that so cheap? the orbi 3 pack is like a thousand bucks! does it have a backhaul channel like the orbi? does it need it?

Eeros are supposed to be great; but I went with the Google WiFi router system, it was a little cheaper. It works way, way better than the series of netgear and Asus routers I had before, which were, frankly, garbage.

I replaced an Asus w/ ubiquiti a few months back. Now the whole family can zoom w/o complaining to me. Definitely on the prosumer end, but it does work well.

I got a synology router which has mesh capabilities and one expansion unit and that fills the whole house with a good strong signal.

It was only really necessary because there’s the metal kitchen counter that blocks signal from the router to E’s office. The 5G router has a really good signal all the way down the front of the house.

I chose that one partly because The range of mesh systems available in Australia is really poor and partly because it allows me to set up a VPN for the whole network and watch japanese and British tv on the Apple TV.
