After messing with unstable powerline adapters ("gigabit", but they kept dropping and needed power cycling mostly because they're old...) finally decided to get something shiny for the new house. 2x Mikrotik Audience APs were delivered yesterday, 3 radios and 2 gigabit ports each. Turns out the "sync" button isn't really plug and play, it just adds a few sec profiles and syncs them across. The rest of it still needs configuring. Took a bit to understand and was a faff, but now all the wifi configs are managed by CAPsMAN and the speed is at least at the same level as when I was using the unstable powerline. Spent more time this morning switching all the IOT things to its own SSID again. I still need to make it its own little network, currently everything is bridged together... Then I can tell the FTTH-ISP to turn off their unmanagable wifi and switch it to DMZ.
