Looking for a Wifi mesh system
Any recommandations for a Wifi mesh system ? I have a 1100 sq. Ft. condo on one level and am experience very poor signal despite having a 1gb fiber connexion.

You are in a condo building and you will have a lot of interference from your neighbours. I would stay away of 5G band and Wifi 5. I would build a WiFi 6E mesh system, and use WiFi 6G as backhaul.

We're only a small 6 unit condo building. I'm experiencing issues on 5G band and 2.4G band isn't much better. I have a Wifi 5 router and wireless connectivity is cutting of constantly and I can get only 200mbps speed which is very low considering a 1G fiber connexion. Wish it was easy to build and install a faraday cage; I'd be putting one beneath my floor and ceiling.
Thanks for the advice.

Or...you can buy a WiFi 5 router that allows you to install a custom firmware (DD-WRT like) and boost the power on the radio. Stay on top

You could always try the eero mesh system. They sometimes go on sale on amazon. Its a very easy system to setup and forget about it.

I don't live in a condo, but I've been using the TP-Link's Deco M5 for ~2 years. Got rid of all the dead spots in my house (detached under 2000sq ft.), quite happy with it and it is very user-friendly.
