I currently have virgin broadband 200Mb which on a wired connection is fast but wifi is poor with multiple devices connected. This is the main reason for upgrading now. I dont have any real need for improved range just yet but will do in the future. The virgin router has wired connections 4 devices - TV, XBOX, Sonos and STB.
I saw your youtube video comparing synology and google mesh systems at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFl1w0d9sMs. I am leaning toward the synology but what I was not sure of from the video was whther I would need both the synology MR2200ac and RT2600ac. If the RT2600ac is required just to give ethernet connections, could I get the MR2200ac and use that with an ethernet switch (there are some spare ones knowking about in the office)
Also, Im looking for a NAS solution to give me 1TB storage. A friend has used a synology NAS DS918+ and is very happy with it. Is this something you would recommend. I would also need the actual drives to put in the NAS system as well.
I would appreciate your advice
Thanks
