Ax1800 is router only

Do you actually have a modem before the router?

Ac750 appears to be a router/modem combo. It could function as a router only, again you would need a modem before it.

Can your mobo/nic even utilize 5ghz

Leave your doors open forever

Drill holes and patch them when you move

Use portals

WiFi

Put a few cables in it incase one breaks or whatever. Don’t have to use em but it’s better then trying to fish it later.

Test it out yourself, and markdown to 89 for used.

I’d run a cable across the floors of a house before relying on mesh

Pretty sure Seagate’s with white labels are recertified drives/failed drives returned on warranty then repaired.

Buy at your own risk.

Wifi extenders are trash.

If your wifi is already trash, you will only be extending trash.

Model of router will help to determine if it’s also the issue as it might be the bottleneck depending on your actual netspeeds you pay for.

I’d still recommend disabling the routers wifi completely and hooking up a wireless access point that has wifi6 capabilities. Your device’s might not be able to handle wifi6, but they will still achieve the wifi5 the aps can put out.

I personally use ubiquiti, but tplink works as well. Better signals, strength and stability all around.

That said, wired over wireless any day.

Have you tried disabling the wifi on that router and using a dedicated wireless access point?

Why ssd over platter drives? It’s for storage. I’d say that for longevity a mechanical will outlive an SSD.

Copy, don’t move. That way, should it fail, your first drive is still accessable…no?

Electrolytic capacitors can dry out for starters

Don’t argue with best buy, only present their own policy everytime they deny. Then ask why they are fighting their own policy. They will bullshit, and present the policy again. Just keep escalating

K? This effects is how?

This shouldn’t be a shock to anyone. Renting a server will always cost more
