Hi bro,
At the end what's your solution? I saw you bought AX3000. What other devices to resolve the Wifi coverage issue?

Hi, just the TUF-AX3000 router itself can cover most house area with 2.4Ghz WiFI, 5.0Ghz area that almost edge of house then can't

One day you might want to consider place the AX3000 at green X via PowerLine adapters (subject to good PLC rate). Keeping the Wifi router in kitchen far away from house centre is a waste.

The red circle has a SoHO box, the modem 1st LAN port is connected to a port on the SoHo box which is connected to a Ethernet port near my TV console, which also where my router is.

Yeah. I did mention got a LAN point in living room right ? Other room don't have any LAN point. Those room need user powerline adapter if want good internet speed, 5Ghz in living can only cover nearby rooms

I am thinking of changing my stock TM router to Deco M9. Need extra LAN ports for CCTV and all so will get a network switch for the extra ports. But will i lose ability to watch Hypptv after this or does it work ok with network switch? Not a deal breaker, just thought better to know the facts up front.
