I had weird issues with it. Like my daughter's signal was trash in her room 8-10 ft away, but it was fine in the kitchen 30 ft away. I also basically got no signal on our back porch. I forwarded it back to Google Wifi and got a good/great signal in all of those areas.

The Google device is sitting 4 inches away from the AT&T gateway.

So, is there some system(mesh?) any of you would recommend now that it's Prime Day? I really just need an expansion to one particular spot in the house. Are all these products compatible with ATT Fiber?

Ethernet...you need products that use ethernet. Fiber is irrelevant for what you are asking.

any mesh system with multiple units will be fine but if you are going to use wireless backhaul and not wired ethernet, you want to get something that is WiFi 6e (tri band) and not dual band.

I use Google Wifi with AT&T but there are plenty of others. I know a few people that have Eero and like it as well.

The 3-pack Eero 6+ is hard to beat at the current price point ($199).

I’ve had Eeros since the OG model and highly recommend them.

Stayed in an airbnb in Covington Ga last year and they had fiber.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting in the actual capital city of a state like this:
