“Should I get the AC1200 or 2200? I have poor coverage with my Cox WIFI in my 2000 sqft home. Looking to upgrade to the mesh. Trying to decide if I should pay the extra money for the 2200 or just get the 1200. Is there much of a difference between the 2?”

AC1200 is a Nest Wifi point. You will still need to have a Nest Wifi router (AC2200) to add a wifi point and create a mesh network. Nest Wifi router can cover up to 2,200 sq ft and 1,600 sq ft for one Nest Wifi point. But where they are placed, the layout of your house, and physical obstructions can impact the total coverage. Keep in mind that barriers like heavy furniture and walls made of thick concrete or brick can influence Wi-Fi performance.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.From personal experience, skip a mesh wifi (they are very overpriced for the results you get) and buy a router with AX3000 or higher and Wifi 6 on the box. It will more than cover 2000 square feet, and it will a lot less money. I have tried both and got better results with a regular router. Hope this helps!
