Do I have to move the boxes? I don't want to open Pandora's box.
I just finished playing the "move the router/reset the router" game on my top quality router. I got fed up and bought a two unit google Nest Wifi mesh system. It was the easiest thing to set up and holy smokes, my speeds are now exactly what I am supposed to be getting! I did have a question while setting up, and contacted Google. They answered the phone in 1 minute, answered my question, and then stayed on the phone while I finished setting up and tested everything. My two pack was $109 on Amazon. The second access point device is also a Google assistant/speaker, the "hey Google, could you play some 70's music, set a timer, check the weather, ask questions...kind" but you can turn off the microphone on it so it can't operate in that manner if you don't want that. It's the best change I've made!
