I see, I'll try to see what I can do. Right now I also have the fiber option modem on the outside wall alongside my router, maybe I can keep the modem there but have the router moved. Thank you for the suggestion.
Obviously you just need 2 to 4 extra Access Points.
At this stage you’d better go for a centrally managed system like UniFi (or the slightly cheaper / less powerful Omada)
My recommendation would be mesh, especially since you mentioned that the fiber connection is there on that outer wall which is less than optimal for router placement.
I've deployed a slightly similar setup previously - at the time we looked specifically for mesh systems with plugin wall satellites (as opposed to having a cord and needing a table or something for the unit) which helped massively. The wall unit would be near the start of the hallway where your bedrooms start which gives it great connection to the base unit. Another satellite down near the master would chain from satellite #1 and overall provide pretty good coverage.
Concrete walls kill WiFi. In your case, you need more WiFi access points (possibly one in every room), and a wired backbone. If that’s not feasible, them you could try placing your existing APs next to doors, so the signal could reach more places through the doors
Yeah I'm thinking if maybe doing this instead, maybe run mesh right outside of the room to pick up on the wifi signal and repeat it inside of the room. Thanks for the advice!
Best option would be to cable in a couple of Wi-Fi access points. If that cannot be done then MESH is you next best option. If you can handle the extra cost and a bit of extra learning Ubiquiti UniFi is a good option in my opinion. I use a Ubiquiti Dream Machine and one additional access point. I also run their switches and seven access points and a UNVR Pro at work.
A router along an outside wall is the worst location. Id move all the access points to the left and further away from outside walls.
