Hi all, my partners parents are looking into having a mesh wifi to replace their virgin superhub and to hopefully get wifi down to the bottom of their garden 250ft long. House size isn't massive, but there is also a garage 1/3 of the way down into the garden. So i was thinking 3 pack mesh kit with 2 in the house and the 3rd in the garage. I have the Deco S7 AC1900 and for my needs it's ideal and works well. But is there anything better for longer distances ?.

so we went with trying the Mercusys 3000 since finding it for a low price and easy return option if required.
So using Virgin wifi I tested it in various rooms using fast.com as a simple speed check, running it 3 times in each room and the results where
living room (where superhub 3 box is) - 280 mbps
kitchen - 136 mpbs
conservatory - 143 mbps
garage - 65 kbps (shocking)
cabin - wouldn't even pick anything up

Then after placing a halo with the superhub in living room, one in the conservatory and then the third in the garage they was getting the following speeds
living room - 293 mbps
kitchen - 196 mbps
conservatory - 290 mbps
garage - 166 mbps
cabin - 25 mbps (this bounced around the most from 25mbps upto 80 mbps) but seemed stable enough to run a firestick/mobile/laptop etc.

Overall decent upgrade in speeds in most places and hopefully fingers crossed carries on and does the job.
