I have a dual band router. The 2.4g band can reach every where in my home and I would like to have the same for the 5g (with out compromising speed).
I purchased a basic Netgear Wifi extender and while it did an excellent job of extending the coverage of the 5G network, it came at a pretty decent speed cost.
Are their any products that can both boost coverage area and not compromise any of the 5g speed? I specifically want as high a speed pipe as possible to my 4k TV which also is unfortunately in a location in my house that is too far from the router to receive an solid 5g signal raw and the router really can't be moved as it is an central location that covers all my 2.4g devices well.
I have heard that some of the "mesh" systems that create multiple points in your home can work well but I have never used one and am unsure how the speed degradation is (if any).
