Opening this discussion to share what I've learned and hear from others with similar experiences.
 
My home has two floors and Wi-Fi is weak on the second floor. Is mesh worth it for streaming?
 
Mesh systems are specifically designed for this scenario. Generally worth it.
 
Extenders repeat the existing signal — they have the same SSID but lower bandwidth.
 
Wired backhaul (Ethernet between nodes) is best. Wireless backhaul is most common but slower.
 
Eero is very user-friendly. Google Nest integrates well with Google ecosystem.
 
For 4K streaming on multiple devices across floors, wired backhaul Orbi is overkill but fantastic.
