Will possibly get community fibre but want to hide the router inside a cupboard right next to front door as I don’t want cables ruining the new decor and there is only an open passageway beyond the front door and cupboard so nowhere to hide it, they use a linksys router possibly an AX5400.
I've just got community fibre and they use an MX4200 (or AX4200, they seem to be the same) for their router. So far as I can tell they are compatible with a variety of extra nodes, including the AX5200 and the ones that branwen linked to above, with them all being Intelligent Mesh models.
From my brief experience Community Fibre upload speed is very good.

So there’s a prime day deal thingy on, currently have a Three 5G router which is great for speed when in a decent position near a window but there are only a couple of places it can go as I don’t want it on show and they are not great for getting coverage on the tado system and moving the router around for a decent WiFi signal means drop outs on one of the TRV’s and poor WiFi in home office, the flat is 80sqM but a central core and blockwork walls means a better WiFi system is needed.

Can buy a pair of these for £159 which is not far off the price of one. Any reason I shouldn’t? Presume this means I could have a 3 part mesh system with community fibre later and run a 2x system bypassing the Three routers limited WiFi now?
Not gaming but the usual streaming of film/Tidal and more importantly the uploading of PSD’s several GB in size so upload is more important than download.
I know very little about routers beyond 2.5ghz/5ghz.
