We're in a two storey house, each storey being 110m2. But the first floor is made of Concrete Blocks, and unfortunately the Fibre comes in through one corner of the house, and her computer is on the diagonal opposite corner of the house.

I believe she currently dabbles in a bit of LoL and mostly Lost Ark.

That's tough. Unfortunately mesh wifi will add latency as you're adding hops inbetween you and your router. I haven't used any of the new mesh networking gear, so can't add much on the gaming front.

Might pay to get a quote for a couple of ethernet runs from a data cabling company, just to see how it compares to buying a higher end mesh system. You might get away with a single AP for each floor for less. For comparison ours is an older UAP-HD which is only 802.11ac but covers pretty much all our 160m2 house, but we're not concrete block.

Hmm might have to do some more thinking then. Thanks for the insights. Will think about the cabling as well 👍
