So, my folks have been having issues with internet range and their wifi stability. Their router and NBN modem are located right at the end of the house in the rumpus which is not ideal as it is double brick, they want a stronger wifi signal all the way at the front of the house where their lounge is located for their TV to stream content.
They are currently using a Powerline network adapter to get internet for the lounge area for the TV which i'd like to get rid of. It isn't the most stable and there will be buffering at times when viewing streams and vids, probably due to their electricals being more than 2 decades old. It is about say 18-20 metres away from the rumpus.
They are on a 50 down / 20 up plan with Aussie BB. Is it even worth considering getting a Wifi 6 or 6e routers even though their speeds are capped at these levels or is something like wifi 5 routers sufficient? Future proofing? I was thinking of the tri-band TP Link Deco X68 (2 or 3 pack) or the tri-band Netgear Orbi RBK752 AX4200 (2 pack). Or getting another cheaper 2nd hand Asus AC Router and using that as a node and AiMesh it with another Asus router which I am currently using (Asus AX82U) at my place.
Any thoughts on this would be great. Thanks!
Edit: budget $400-500, connected devices usually include 2 tvs, 3 phones, a PC, laptop, 2 tablets, inverter. House size is 24sq single storey.
I have found WiFi 6 to have much less drop outs and overall be more stable than my previous routers. But that's just my experience.
