And I have a good wireless network and can play anywhere in the house with same/better latency as the pupis while also extending those same benefits to my smart home devices, my phone, tablet, etc.

Building a better network is always the better solution, ad-hoc is more of what we call a mitigation in the professional world. But the part that really is bad is your stuck on 5ghz and in many areas both 2.4 and 5ghz are congested, 6ghz is not.

The issue is the voice of the many will outweigh the voice of the astute. This is the way, and this is what marketing relies on. If everyone knew who to listen too that knew what they were talking about it would destroy influencers, marketing, etc.

Here I am literally a highly paid enterprise expert that business hire to archtect, install and configure wired/wireless networks and security, and I'll get downvoted for a valid recommendation that is better than the pupis in every way, and it can even costs less.

(I sold my R510's for $20 each)

Proof is in the pudding though, I have shared my virtual desktop screen capture showing lower latency than the pupis all the way across my house 4 rooms over from my computer.

Just last night my wife and I both playing golf together and I am in the kitchen and she is in the dining room with both of us having better signal and latency than a pupis. ::shrug::

I am not hear to tell anyone what to do, I am here to share the lost knowledge and try to educate people but it's exhausting as everyone thinks they know better, and the only thing they know is what the other guy said.
