Before spending $200–$400 on mesh Wi-Fi, consider free or cheaper alternatives that can solve most home network issues. Key fixes include optimizing router settings (QoS, firmware updates), repositioning the router centrally, upgrading to a Wi-Fi 6 router (possibly free via ISP), and repurposing old routers as wired access points. Mesh networks are overkill for most homes unless the space is very large or signal is severely restricted.
