Stability issues for certain clients, limits on client number (LOW limits) I have An Amplifi Instant setup just for my kid to not use Deco. It's speed limited, but we are off FiOS 300/300 and on Comcast. The app thing is just annoying. OH. You NEED a Router between ISP modem in bridge mode and Decos or your LAN goes down when the ISP does. Despite the Amplifi Instant being App based, I'd go with a modern one. I really need to get opnWRT working. Then, WiFi is AP only. I wish wifi worked in those rooms

I switched from Amplifi mesh to Linksys mesh several years ago and have been very happy with it. I put a tp-link ER605 switch/router in front of it to provide the vpn connectivity and boost my throughput.

Amplifi is on sale. It is a mesh network for home by Ubiquiti. Includes a router and two wireless AP’s. I have installed dozens of these and they work great. It is on sale for around $170.00. Usually it is $350.00. I just did one a few weeks ago. Now their whole house has no issues with wifi.

Look up Amplifi mesh by Ubiquiti. i have installed it in fairly large homes? i have one client who owns about ten Sonos devices scattered over three floors in a 12,000 sq ft house. We had to add a couple of extra wireless access points but he said it works perfectly now. That was over a year ago.

I picked up an AmpliFi for $50 on Craigslist. It’s been remarkably solid.

I use Ubiquity Unifi gear since I’ve used it for almost 10 years. Netgear Orbi is a high quality product, Eero is probably ok too. More a question of how big your space is, is there a way to hardwire access points etc. The standard Verizon router may be totally fine for a small space.
