WiFi internet price
The total WiFi internet price = price of the internet + WiFi devices + installation. The price of WiFi routers for home or office is ranging $30-$500. The price depends on the variety of features, such as FTP server, DLNA media server etc. Most of these features are not used and cause issues with the internet, reduce WiFi reliability, security. WiFi reception quality is not proportional to the price of the router. For family homes, we use simple and reliable routers priced at $30 - $150. Access points and WiFi mesh systems price is in the range of $40 to $1000.

WiFi access point via router differences
What is the difference between WiFi access point and a router? While they look the same access point creates or extends the WiFi network only. Router managing how traffic delivered to devices connected to the network. Most routers create WiFi networks too. Some routers switched to the access point mode, and some access points may provide router functionality such as DHCP. Confusion of these devices and misconfiguration is the common cause of the intermittent WiFi dropouts.
WiFi extender vs mesh
A mesh is a set of WiFi extenders interconnected wirelessly. Usually, they form one WiFi network and have a so-called seamless roaming feature. That way, there is no interruption when you walk from one room to the other in the conference call. A set of separate extenders also can be set up in one uniform WiFi network. But that would not have seamless roaming. For the best, extenders should be connected by network cables. However, that would not be called mesh.
If you do not move across the house while connected, an expensive mesh system is not necessary. The WiFi specialist can configure existing hardware for the best internet at the required spots.
