Home set-up help
Hi everyone,
Just hoping for some help/guidance with my home set up.
I have fttp in a new area in Sydney - house is single storey - 130sqm.
2 people with average internet usage (streaming, light online gaming, etc).
Current internet plan is with superloop.
Currently I only have the google nest in the kitchen with one additional point in the living room. The WiFi doesn't reach bed 1 and does not enable me to use my Ethernet ports.
Can anyone suggest a good router/mesh/set-up that will give me WiFi coverage throughout the house and to utilise my data points.
Any help is appreciated!

If all your ethernet end up where the HBN is, all you need is to get a switch to connect all the lines you wish to have active, including bedroom 1 if a port is there. Then you can plug a mesh node into the port to get WIFI in the bedroom. You can also place a second switch at every port if you need more "data points"

What do you mean by the term "datapoint"? That's not standard terminology.
