Recommend a WiFi signal booster or extender?

I've used this for the past few years. Two of them work great in my 2500' single level cinderblock home. YouTube TV is my streaming TV provider and I can stream HD movies/sports to all five TV's at once with NO pixelation whatsoever.

So I received the dual band mesh that I ordered from Amazon yesterday. I’m not going to open it just in case a tri-band mesh system comes on sale on Prime Day next week.

Something interesting I ran into with my mesh network for the second time now, certain things don't play nice with the 5ghz band and require 2.4. My apple fitness membership was one of those things and now my new Connex thermostat by Bryant also doesn't like 5ghz. I have no way to dictate which band something connects to. On my old routers, I could disable the 5ghz channel so things would only connect to the 2.4.

I have an Orbi at one house and some Chinese one from Prime day at the other. Both work good.

Setup a Deco for mom and dad. We have Ubiquity at our house. 3 covers our 1.3acre lot just fine.

Tell me what you are trying to do?

I need to do this on my ATT router to enable control of landscape lighting since it can only use the 2.4GHz channel.

I can access the router and setup a unique SSID for the 2.4 and 5GHz channels.
