RE: Sonos Play 1 wireless speakers and Xfinity network question

I'm using AVM Fritzboxes (router/repeater). I guess these are not that common in US.
However. They do offer mesh networking.

I'm living in a 3 story house with very poor WLAN spread from a single device.

I tried powerline networking and also tried repeaters.

Not acceptable!

IMO the only way to get serious and stable coverage for me was to run a cable to each floor and attach FritzBox Repeaters configured as wired bridges. These can also work in a mesh config.

My main video streaming devices are hardwired for best performance.
In the living room I therefore run an ethernet hub. That's where the Repeater and Apple TV gets hooked up.

Yep. High performance networks need some serious planning and investment...
...and maintenance too!

Good luck with your project.
