My house isn't particularly old or large but as the incoming internet (via Virgin) is in the top front corner, the bottom back living area has always had poor/no signal.
So over the years I have used various WiFi extenders and what I have settled on is a hard-wired ex-Virgin hub in the diagonally opposite corner of the house and two or three cheap Xiaomi repeaters - these tinyurl.com/tbt5pxr
This seems to work well enough, the only problem being that the signal degrades in places but doesn't get bad enough for your device to recognise this and switch to another source = - just turning off/on WiFi does it though.
I see the current offering is a mesh network, and some are recommended using a "ethernet backhaul" - a sexy term for joining up the APs with cable (which kind of defeats the object IMO).
Anyway - are there other reasons why this would be an improvement on what I already have?
