I’m on Zen Internet in the UK and was supplied a Fritz router with the connection. WiFi was great but didn’t reach throughout the house (old, lots of brick internal walls).

I noticed they claimed they could do mesh WiFi so I tried to buy their extenders. They are built to plug directly into European power sockets, though, and when I asked AVM they advised against using an adapter for the UK and instead buying some second hand routers.

I bought two the same as my original (2nd hand on eBay, cheaper than the extenders would have been) and set them up.

It was trickier to set them up than the extenders would have been but it’s all working and pretty solid so far. I was very happy with their support.
