Does anyone know if mesh routers do anything to ensure the WiFi device is on the strongest source of WiFi signal?
I currently have two WiFi routers with same WiFi name(1 main and 2nd the router function disabled used simple as WiFi access point hooked via Ethernet to one another).
I find my connection on iPad or phone seems to stubbornly stick to one even though quite slow making us have to turn WiFi on/off to hook to the close one and speed goes from 3Mbps to 50 Mbps. I am already in market for main access point as I am using an old WiFi router as access point (Cisco E3000) that only does about 50Mbps despite the 150Mbps available. It also tends to crash.
At home we don’t download a lot but rest family heavy consumer of streaming and my job at home lots of video conferencing. According to ISP we use 450Gb per month.
