286Mbps standing in the room with the router. 280Mbps standing in the garage in the opposite corner of my Designer home (as far away as I could get). I would call that very good coverage from one router. I'm certainly not going to pay for five mesh nodes and the configuration/maintenance issues to recover a 2% (6Mbps) loss.

Most people use the 2 ssid’s that the isp router gives you because people don’t know better. Think about this, how many times have you had to change your wifi name everytime you changed network providers? Most people change them everytime.

What was the sample size of the survey that showed most people did anything like that?
I've had to change my wifi name exactly zero times. Most people I have worked with change the configuration on their router to match their installation, not the other way around.

Also which wifi do you want to use: 2.4gjz or 5ghz? If you make both the same ssid you let the device use what it can.
Like I said, no isp or geek squad knows how to do internal networks, they will put bandaids on the LAN by using cheap extenders. Go for it, but for little money you can do so much better

Maybe others can comment on whether the installers (possibly themselves) offered to change the SSID. I suspect most of them did.
