Get routers/single wifi up and out in the open. Less matter between wifi device (AP = Access Point) and where you consume wifi (wifi client).
Internet connection should be centrally located (or to one side if you're going to need multiple wifi AP's).
Avoid wifi usage whenever possible (especially anything that
regularly plays a video stream - Smart TV, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV etc).
Only one thing can talk on wifi at a time per channel/frequency range.
Use wifi signal strength to gauge number of wifi AP. 2
bars is the lowest reliable connection. The stronger the signal, the
faster the wifi data transfer speed.
Test and make sure you have a wifi problem and not an internet
problem using test software (on a wireless PC preferably) and
monitor.
Here's a good analysis of the mesh options, and you'll get lots of features like restricting devices/parental features.
