Hey there everyone. I've been tasked with figuring out how to fix the networking in my work office.

We're trying to fix a couple problems:

• The routers provided by the network providers are awful - no range, instability, etc

• We're paying for two lines, one for the top office and one for the bottom

• We have two networks, one for each, and want to ideally have them meshed together so we have a single access point

Here's my idea:

• Network provider router is put into bridge mode (if it's necessary at all)

• It plugs direct into an Asus router (I really like the AI Mesh feature)

• We run cabling between the floors

• Connect it to a second Asus router on the second floor and mesh them together.

There's only 10 of us and it's quite a small office.

Any suggestions or improvements you might offer?
