Hi all,

Need your suggestions.

I live in a double storey house (abt 22x70) and my C5 router (running on UNIFI 100mbps) is located at ground floor's living room connecting wiredly to an Android TV. The problem is my C5 will reboots once in awhile in middle of the night and it turns on my TV. This is frustrating as the TV is left on in the morning.

So now I am looking into replacing my router with a better router (C2300) or Mesh (D-Link DIR 1360). Which will be a better option?

FYI, I have a Tenda extender upstairs now.

Thanks in advance.

Nice! Thanks Blacktubi.

C2300 is a decent choice.

Alternative would be the Deco M5 twin pack and you can throw away your Tenda Repeater, not an option for those who need HyppTV and Ethernet LAN port.

Skip the D-Link mesh, the user experience is not great. A mesh system is only good if the firmware is well optimized.
