I'm wondering if my current router is on its last legs, and it's time to get a new router, probably a mesh system.
My current router is a Netgear Nighthawk 8000 X6, which I put into service in October, 2019.
Aside from frustrations I have with the interface, I think that the 5.0 radio is getting weaker. Correction: I know that the 5.0 radio is getting weaker, because the signal strength on my desktop is a lot weaker than it used to be. And I no longer get any 5.0 signal in my upstairs bedroom.
Because of the weaker 5.0 signal, I recently got a TP-Link RE550 repeater, but the signal strength improvement is a lot less than I had hoped it would be, particularly in the upstairs bedroom. So that's goes back to Amazon.
Or, can I revive the router somehow? How?
