The best way to permanently fix a bad Wi-Fi network is to upgrade to a mesh network. If your network problem persists across most of your home and not just in one room, a mesh network is the best solution.
Mesh networks are the best choice for a medium to large-sized home with many devices, which is often the case for smart home users. Mesh networks use multiple nodes that act together to create a seamless, often self-healing network, rather than each node sending separate signals.

I have over 100 devices in my smart home, which clog up the network, and we experience frequent buffering, slowdown, and spotty connections, even with 1 Gbps service. Switching from a two-router setup to a mesh network with three nodes stabilized our connections throughout our approximately 3,000-square-foot home.
Since I have upgraded to Eero Mesh Network, I don’t see myself switching brands in the near future. I have an Eero Max 7, two Eero Pro 7s, and an Eero Outdoor, and they handle all my smart devices without a hitch.
