Hi yall, My current setup is Cox 1GB, with their standard modem and we have a TP-Link Deco X55 Mesh Router.

One of the Decos is in a room upstairs with the modem at the front end of the house. And the 2nd deco router is downstairs in the living room on the back end of the house.

TV in the living is continuously having connection issues and keeps buffering. And when we have a heavy load on the internet. Everything just goes to shit and connection severely drops to the point videos stop loading and webpages go black.

I honestly think is because of the amount of devices connected and running. On the daily we have 3 desktops hard wired in via ethernet, 2 of those desktops would be running games at the same time as well. and have the follow devices on wifi all at once, 1 tv, 3 xbox consoles, 4 phones, and sometimes an ipad as well.

I think we should swap out the mesh router for a gaming router to handle all the devices running at once. What would yall recommend? or what you think we should do? We've even disconnected wifi on all phones and tablets, but that still doesnt seem to help.
