Improve my internet set up

[ddshiner]

I’ve read so many posts about poor superhub3 Wi-Fi and have got to the point I need to spend some cash improving my home network set up.

I currently have the SH3 and an Ethernet switch providing several wired connections to my kids Xbox/PlayStations and smart tvs using CAT6 cables. These generally work without an issue.

the problems is the Wi-Fi side, we have dead spots in the bedrooms (small brick built bungalow) I’ve been looking at the various options of power line adaptors, extenders, mesh etc. but haven’t made the jump yet as I want to make sure I get something which it fit for our needs. 

I still will want to be able to use the 8 port Ethernet switch for Xbox and PlayStations and 3 smart tvs. 

where I’m stuck is if I use the SH3 as a modem and buy a mesh system, can I still use the switch with in this type of set up. I’ve read the ports in the super hub 3 will not work when it’s in modem mode apart from 1 port that will go to the mesh system. 

I wanted to plan how to get the set up right before purchasing anything.

appreciate any advice if anyone has had to set up anything similar?

The switch would connect to the LAN port of the mesh node or router you would connect to the hub

Get a PoE switch and use PoE access points on the ceilings.  As you are in a bungalow it’s should be an easy win. These look like smoke alarms and need no power sockets as they are powered over the Ethernet cables. It’s what I use in my bungalow. I have located one at each end of the property.
