I have a 3 storeyed home with basement. The coax cable is in basement. So is my dual Modem/router. I have concrete ceiling in each level. My package is 100 mbps

I was not getting wifi signal on top floor so I used following setup:

Modem/router in bridge mode (basement) > connected to gateway eero device with ethernet (basement)> netgear gigabit unmanaged switch> this device connected to another eero with ethernet (top floor)> another erro device in middle level connected through wifi

The speed test shows 98 mbps speed but when I am streaming video it keeps buffering. When guests come the speed suffers as well

 

I have my dual modem/router in basement and dont get any signal at top floor (its a 3 storied house).

I am DIYing a network of 3 Access point in 3 levels wired with modem.

 

I just moved into a 3 storey townhouse. My ISP provided a device that works as both modem and router (Techsavvy if anyone from GTA is reading this). It is located in basement as thats the only place with a coax cable from electrical panel available.

But I am not getting any signal on top floor. I have concrete ceiling in each floor.

There are 10+ devices now and I intend to add more smart home devices in future. The house was built in 70s and has many ethernet ports across all floors.

What should be the network setup for my place? Should I hire a professional for this?
