when your home router says it can do "300 mbps" they mean it can do 300 mbps with no routing or nat, with 9000 byte packets, on a new moon, on alternate tuesdays

get ubnt access points. they are worth it. I get 25 MB/s on my phone from Netflix and 40 MB/s on my MacBook. (That’s 200 mbps and 300 mbps respectively)

I was able to move to a different one opposite on the spectrum and get great speeds in my old apartment. the really annoying thing is when the default is auto, so even if you pick a free channel it just ends up congested when everyone else's routers decide to jump to it because it's less congested.

All wifi is trash. It’s radio for small plastic toys.

All wifi is trash. It’s radio for small plastic toys. 5 ghz is deliberately sold not to penetrate two rooms away that's the point of the product: put lots of individual low-powerd radios in enclosed spaces, with wired connections back to a central hub that provides connectivity and management of contention between the individual APs

i havent had any problems since i switched out my antenna caps to audio-grade gold ones that i molecularly aligned to the power frequency in my shithole apartment if thats not an option for you i suggest hanging rare earth magnets from your routers pulse points. i did this at my old place where the neighbors messed up the electrical rhythm with their gmo weed smoke and it worked great but i had to completely overhaul my personal chakra geometry to compensate so ymmv
