I have an ASUS RT-AX88U right now but security cameras drop off wifi.
House 3200sq ft. 2 stories.
Have a network center (leviton) in a center room in upstairs office in wifi cabinet.
In 2005 installed cat5 cable to most rooms in the house in outlet with phone and TV coax.
All wiring goes through a network panel and connects to a switch. Not using any of the remote hardwired connections except main router RT-AX88U. Not sure how to test that they connect.
I run a lot of devices (smart devuces, security cameras ~20), stream TV in 3 rooms, gaming system Xbox x.
Looking to purchase asus to set up 2-3 potential nodes to help with connectivity.
The camera that drops off most often is driveway camera (wyze pro floodlight). It is closer to router than cameras on the back of the house.
No issues upstairs.
Looking at Zenmesh xd5 3 pack.
Put 1 in downstairs living room in back of the house.
Put 1 in downstairs living room in front of the house (closer to security cameras that drops off)
Future 1 outside in covered patio near pool.
Questions:
1. Is the xd5 a good option?
2. Is there a better wifi6 option?
3. How would I configure for best results.
I am a slight better then novice/newbie.
I use my router setting and have data limiters on heavy data users like roku, xbox. Plan to add Xbox to hardwired port for gaming (settings for router?) and computer. Running latest merlin software.
