My house is 2500 SF all one story. Kind of rural, so Spectrum cable based internet is the only option. It’s plenty fast over WiFi to my HP Z book which is across the hall from the cable modem and Spectrum AC router.

looking to fix two things:

  1. LG smart TV loses connection almost every day. It’s not too far from the router so I have no idea why. The router does both 2.4 and 5 GHz but they don’t show as separate networks so maybe it’s on 2.4.
  2. I’d like to have fast reliable WiFI in the garage and the yard.

I’m thinking of a TP Link Deco XE75 with two units. I’ll hard wire one to the Spectrum router and use TP as a mesh access point. The second one will go in the kitchen near the garage and yard. I don’t see a reason for a third unit.

Does this plan make sense? Will it accomplish what I’m looking for?

I’d rather not set up the TP as the router but I can if that’s the suggestion for best performance.

Thanks!
