Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender

An extender is all I need since all I am trying to do is get the best reception in one location only, my listening room. No need to mess around with a mesh network in my case.

I’m using a Netgear Powerline 2000 with a cat 8 cord to and from.

Works great!

Don’t worry about SQ. It’s all about the network.

I experienced great improvements in sound quality when my Service provider took out the old router from my wifi network and replaced it with  pair of Mesh disc. Its a generic brand. I changed to a better brand eternet cable dont have much differences like changing the old router to these pair of mesh disc. 

Mesh is superb in my experience. But as others have stated, hardwire when possible.
