The WiFi here has been pretty terrible for a while. Upgrading our internet speed at home made things better, but not great. Last year I ran a bunch of ethernet through the attic which did help overall, but performance over wireless was still badly lacking. I needed to reboot devices often and ASUS's documentation for their routers was, frankly, dogshit. The WiFi here has been pretty terrible for a while.

### Main Causes ### Main Causes
- Old equipment
- ASUS AX-92U (x2 in mesh)
- Motorola Surfboard.. something (replaced prior to this project, but the routers gaslighted me into thinking the new modem was a problem...)
#### Old equipment - Spaghetti network
- ASUS AX-92U (x2 in mesh) - No VLANs
- Motorola Surfboard.. something (replaced prior to this project, but the routers gaslighted me into thinking the new modem was a problem...) - No special firewall controls
- The 2.4GHz band is flooded with IoT devices
#### Spaghetti network - Mostly using free/cheap/used equipment
- No VLANs - This isn't changing THAT much... but now I have a 24-port PoE switch
