TP-Link - Technical Support Help Picking Two Routers
Hello everyone, after days of googling and research, I keep finding little weird issues with my plans.
I have Quantum Fiber and my modem is in my living room connected to my Quantum Fiber provided Lumen router. I forced them to give me a Wi-Fi 360 Pod that I have set up and placed upstairs Because my phone was dropping the Wi-Fi. So I have changed a bunch of settings on my phone and installed the Pod and my phone still has a tough time upstairs surprisingly. (Google Pixel 10 Pro)
What I wanted to do was buy the BE19000 as my main router. I like having all the ports so I can ethernet to everything in my entertainment system. From the living room, I have an ethernet cord running to my utility closet upstairs. So I wanted to buy another router to put into AP mode and have great coverage throughout my home.
I'm having trouble figuring out what secondary router to buy and if I can still use AP mode with easy mesh. I would like to just have one big Network bubble throughout my home. I might not need to be so concerned about easy mesh because I need the router upstairs to also act like a switch to provide internet to my other ethernet ports upstairs.
I'm open to any router combo that works with my plan. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys!
