I think having a half-decent home network goes beyond running the
latest and greatest 802.11 standard.<br>
<br>
I spend quite a bit of time helping folk fix up their home networks,
and the things I see make me wonder how ISP's are still in business
(mostly because the home networks are so badly strung, you can be
guaranteed there is a phone call going to the ISP every hour).<br>
<br>
Wireless meshing and/or wireless boosters have only compounded the
problem. The general approach is to spend as little as possible for
the home network, and expect the AP/router to work from the day you
had ADSL to the day you get Gig-E FTTH, including after you add more
walls, doors and beams during your lockdown renovation hobbies.<br>
<br>
I agree that sufficient attention needs to be paid toward the home
network. But simply throwing an 802.11ax AP/router at the site does
not guarantee success.<br>
