I have a larger home (single story 4000+). My office is on the other side of my house from my media room. I had a dlink that was working well but after a few years and a few smart tvs it wasn't working well. I replaced it with a linksys wac 1900 which rated well for large homes but I'm having the same issues.

I'm trying to decide between the goggle wifi, netgear orbi, the Eero system or the luma system. Can any of you give me any advice on any of these systems? Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to use only one router for the entire house?

I picked up a Ubiquiti UniFi a while back, used a POE injector it came with, and it solved my network coverage issues. Very simple setup, as long as you have access to run the wire.

I've heard good things the Amplifi system as well as Eero. Google Wifi will also probably be good, though it's a little unproven at this point. Think you'd see big improvement from any of them.

Get powerline adapters and put another router in your office.

I don't have the ability to run wire and my internet provider connection is in my office.

I have the eero. Pretty nice though expensive. Not very much speed loss from unit to unit. For 4000 square feet you might need an extra one though. Only comes with three.
