Yes, Ubiquiti gear for sure. It’s what’s used in restaurants and hotels, so they’re not using cheap components like those that Netgear and some of the sub-$100 dollar brands use and they don’t burn out in 12-18 months.
This is probably a dumb question but is there any way to run a CAT 6 line to anywhere near her room? If so, you can buy a Gigabit Switch for less than $20 dollars, then install a Wireless Access Point, which will provide that area of the house with your full 450 bandwidth. I hired an AV company to run a line under my house and up the outside wall of my wife’s office so that I could install the same gear, and it cost me $95 dollars.
Before that, she was getting 5 mbps. Since, 500+.
As I mentioned earlier, an extender will take the signal and cut it in at least half because the extender has to constantly send and receive the signal, so it will degrade quickly. I’ll text my brother to see if he’s had any better luck configuring his Mesh Network as well.
