Hi Lowyat forums, not a tech geek here and recently after expanding 2nd floor of house realised that my current router (TM give, Archer C1200) can't cover the whole floor/ weak signal in general.

My first thought was upgrade router, as I thought the one TM give is cheap stuff (apparently it seems to be decent entry router). If that's the case, should I consider Mesh wifi instead? The one I've been looking at are the tplink deco models (M4/M5) but if got any other models that are more value for money can recommend also biggrin.gif

Or should I just save money and get a range extender?

Don't need super fast transfer speeds (only used for internet connection, not much file transfers), can load 4K vids smoothly for max 4 devices with stable connection very happy already. Currently have 100Mbps unifi but maybe upgrade to 300/500 in the future. Thanks in advance!
