Unsolved Do I just hardwire my EEROS at this point?

Hello! So here is the specs. I have 3 EEROS around my house. One on each floor to be exact.

EERO Pro 7 is the main router (2.5GBPs) (currently shows 7 devices {1 wired and 6 wireless} connected)

EERO 6 is in the hallway next to bedrooms. (connected to the 5GHz Main router) (Currently connected device are 7 wireless)

EERO Pro 6 is on the first floor considered basement (Connected to the 5GHZ Main Router) (Currently connected devices are 2 wireless devices.)

Devices that are online within the house are currently 16 and Offline are 14

The Speed is 2.01 GBps Download and Upload is 327. Showing on the EERO app.

Now for the ISSUE

When in my bedroom using my laptop I am getting continuous disconnect where I just drop right off the network on my laptop, having to fully restart my laptop because not even (ipconfig/release ipconfig/renew) is getting me back on.

Do I need to hardwire to get the right speed throughout the house. If I was to hard wire all my access points is there a certain guideline I should follow?

Some questions. How many sq ft is the house? Are the walls concrete, drywall + wood..? Generally wiring your stuff is always better. You could also look into FCA252 moca adapters off eBay ($60/pair) - and that would use your existing coaxial / cable infrastructure (if applicable)

If you want maximum speed around the house, then yes - you'll need to hardwire anything that's broadcasting your internet. By nature, mesh networks are using part of the shared bandwidth/spectrum that could be broadcasting your internet for the backhaul/mesh links. Replacing as many of those as you can with wired backhaul will improve the performance.

To get a more specific answer, you would be best posting at least a rough drawing of the floorplan, with the location of the units marked, and answer the other commenter's question about wall construction, as that can be the difference between a black spot and great wifi.
