I have decided to help my friend fix his coverage issues in a really big home. Sorry I can't provide you with square footage. It's big and gets rented out to parties and family reunions - so mainly we need something to service ~40 people in a big area. Granted, not everyone connects to Wi-Fi. Right now he has 1 AirPort Extreme and a tiny Almond extender.
At first I wanted to get Orbi AC3000, but since satellites can only connect to the base, I'm not sure it's going to work because the modem is in a far corner of the house. Only the base and 1 satellite can be operational. Hence, I was thinking about Velop or Google solutions because I could build coverage from one point of the house to the other. Plus, I think he'll need at least 4 devices.
What would you recommend? Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S. This might be the main question - if the internet speed is only 16 Mbit/s does the download ranking matter? Meaning, with that speed, would Orbi, Velop and Google Wi-Fi show the same performance? Even if, say, we build a system with 6 Google Wi-Fi's.
