Has anyone replaced ISP router with significant diff?

[DublinDude]

Hi all,

I was watching a review of a new router and I realised it never occurred to me to question the router provided to me by my ISP. Not sure why as the wifi signal is fairly poor beyond the room the router is in.

Have any of you replaced your default router with something shiny and pricey and notice a significant difference in the quality and speed and wifi signal around the house?

Thanks in advance

Yes but not with an all in one unit, i have 6 different components to mine.

Oh I assume a mesh setup, to spread the wifi around the house?

No i have the router with firewall, a 12 port managed poe switch, 2 managed ap's, a pihole on a ... er pi and all going out from the router with pppoe to a draytec modem.
So er 6 things, plus the flight radar 24 pi that uses an sdr usb dongle and a couple of antenna on the roof to capture data for the fl24 website but thats not part of my actual network.

I've no idea what you just typed but I hope your xmas was fantastic and I wish you and your family an amazing new year!
