Just remember, when someone says, "I'm getting coverage all over my home with one WiFi/router that's shoved under my desk" for example, It might be true. You may get a WiFi signal all over but I guarantee it's not consistent and may not be adequate depending on your situation and usage. For some in this situation, their TVs may be getting a good signal and in the Lanai the signal may be strong enough for surfing the web for example. But I can tell you many stories of people who's TVs on the Lanai buffer from time to time and they just live with it. A simple change to the WiFi system can fix these problems permanently.

There are also people who put devices all over their homes and in these cases these are people who what the most speed and coverage everywhere.

So, there is no right or wrong, just be aware when you read some of the solutions people post about their solutions.
What do you put behind that guarantee? I've reported the results of my speed tests several times. Are you saying I am wrong, I am lying, or that having the router on the table rather than under the table makes all the difference?

There are people who want to spend $1,500 down plus $100 per year so they can have 20 times the bandwidth they actually need in places they will never use it. If you got it, spend it, but don't call it necessary.
