I have an extender already, but it’s a cheap one and bandwidth sucks. Any success stories?

Edit: Thanks all for your replies!

    Wireless-only mesh is only as good as the weakest connection. You want mesh routers connected via ethernet or powerline where possible.

    I’ve seen people run ethernet over rooftops and outside windows around houses.

      This is how I have my house setup. I have four “mesh” routers (google wifi) but each one is plugged into Ethernet for higher throughput (my top floor gets the full capacity of my internet connection now whereas it was like 2mbps using purely wifi).
