I need some help from those of you who know about these connectivity issues.
I moved into a new house a few months ago and the internet is spotty in some locations. So much so that my outdoor cameras barely work because they can't connect regularly.
I have spectrum's fastest internet (1 Gig)
I have a Ubee DVW32CB modem and router - Roughly 4-5 years old Modem link
I have a Lynksys Velop WHW03 Mesh System - it's about 4-5 years old and has 3 nodes
I tested my speeds in 3 locations...
1: Near the modem (1st floor center of house) : 590Mbps
2: Upstairs bedroom with node (far end of the house): 63Mbps
3: Upstairs bedroom without node (opposite end of the house): 27Mbps
I went to BestBuy this morning to ask them what I should do. The guy there said I'm pulling a good Wifi signal at my modem and even though it's old, it's still working well. But based on the speeds in the 2 rooms he said my Mesh router is old and not up to date with today's technology. He suggested I upgrade my mesh system to one of the following..
1. Lynksys Atlas 6: Specs
2. Eero Pro 6: Specs
3. Google Nest: Specs
A couple of questions-
1. Do you think this is a Mesh issue?
2. Any preference on Mesh systems? I have a lot of amazon products (Alexa and Blink cameras) and he suggested the Eero product because it would integrated better with those products.
Thanks for your help in advance!
