Looking to help a friend with setting up Wi-Fi in his new home, approx 2500 sq ft. Has plans to build a second building (not too far away) at some point where he'd like coverage as well.
I'm stuck whether to go with a nest system or a single Wi-Fi router located centrally. The nest systems are obscenely expensive, especially in Wifi 6 (AX) form, which he'd like to have for future proofing. Like the nest idea for simplicity, same SSID across the whole house/property.
Curious if the single router solution would offer comparable performance / range in a house this size.
The house has wired ethernet to pretty much every room, so the only devices connecting via Wi-Fi are cell phones and such that can't connect via ethernet. Do the nest systems have the capability of plugging the satellites into ethernet, so that they can be extended further away from the main router without signal issues?
