    Difference between one ok router and another ok unit is minimal. Tx power is the same for all. If you have cables to the office install an access point, if not homeplugs are great in most dwellings.

    What about routers that are wifi 6 compatible? I know they are expensive but would it be worth investing in one?

    Get WiFi 6 or 6e router
    Try mesh if you live in big house
    50 euro for huwaei pro 3 alixepress
    The Chinese version is better than global version but you have to use google translate to set up Chinese version

    Only if you have devices that support it. If you are looking further down the road, then I would invest in a 6E (not 6) compatible router/access point. You will then have access to the 6GHz spectrum.

    I thought wifi 6 was backward compatible. So all home automation items currently connected should still be able to connect.

    Any suggestions for 6e before I Google it and do research on them
