Hi
Given the lock-down and the need to do more stuff from home, my iffy WiFi is becoming a real problem.
My current setup is as follows... Currently my setup is
Which brings my to my question.
What is the prevailing opinion to solve for this?
Currently the I am heading towards the miserly route of ordering a TP-Link Deco E4 or M4 kit - but I'm a little worried that while it might be an improvement, it won't be MUCH of an improvement. On Takealot these are R1800 and R2500 for the E4 and M4 respectively, each which comes with two APs. In order to maximise throughput I was thinking one could replace my Airport Extreme and the other would replace my Airport Express.
I really like the Netgear Orbi stuff, but my budget doesn't. I see some Amplifi chatter here and there but I'm not sure where that would fit in, whether they have a mesh system at a fair price or what.
The board's expert thoughts on this topic are...?
Thanks!

- Huawei B315s-936 (WiFi disabled) as my router in my study
- Apple Airport Extreme is my AP connected directly to the Huawei which is kinda on one side / one half of the house so it covers study, lounge, dining room, kitchen and one bedroom.
- Apple Airport Express is the AP that provides coverage to the rest of the house - it is in a passage leading to the 2nd and 3rd (master) bedroom
