All gaming is basically PC now. Have a PS4 (which is next to the main router anyway) but since I moved to 1440p and high framerate monitor I’m not going back. I play Overwatch 2 mostly and as you can imagine if ping spikes happens then it can be annoying in such fast paced action.

We have 1 iPhone Pro (not sure of model it’s afew years old), 2 Android phones and some tablets (2 iPad and 2 Amazon Fire tablets).

Fortunately the BT master socket is almost directly in the middle so placing the main router in the exact middle is easy. I can’t see the GT-AC5300 in stock at Amazon and tbh I think I should atleast get a Wi fi 6 capable router if it’s only going to be one unit (plus if wifi 6 devices enter later). Do you think the GT-AX6000 is a good choice? I don’t think I can persuade us to fork out £450+ on that one AXE16000 unit but the AX6000 is somewhat reasonable. It’s still alot to fork out if range is still bad but the Eero/TP-Link is always going to be sub £300 for 3 units.

As for FTTP speeds, unless BT ever has an insane deal on I’ll never be going for more than 500 and even that is pretty overkill for our needs. I’ll likely just be on the 150 package as I can get that for £27.99 a month.

Also while I have you here, when I was initially googling to see if the DSL version supported merlin this thread came up: https://uktechhub.com/forums/topic/gnuton-and-asus-dsl-ax82u/page/3/#post-14749

Is fifa really going to tell you how good the connection is? From what I know fifa is all p2p so if your opponent is on wifi and/or likely suffering from bufferbloat then the connection will also seem really bad your end. You would need a dedicated server game to really know if I am not mistaken.
