currently using a gigabit connection from Vm which is all lovely and what not but i am looking to extend my wifi upstairs as well as ideally build out a 2.5gb network to add a bit of future proofing for future speed bumps
current home network is being ripped out(couple of Archer C6's as access points that dont see to work that well so looking for advice on the following
Do i put the VM router into modem only mode and add a suitable router to replace it?
i want 2x switches (one downstairs feeding my AV cabinet (this doesnt need to be 2.5gb for now) and one switch up stairs which i'd like to be 2.5gb capable and wireless up stairs and downstairs
Something like this
UPSTAIRS 2,5gb switch / multiple devices - wireless
DOWNSTAIRS VM MODEM - ROUTER/SWITCH - multiple devices wireless
ideally want a mesh wifi setup that saves faffing about changing networks which is what i have to do just now.. budget is open but ideally sub £750 all in
