I guess? My local ISP did offer to set up a mesh, which I did briefly try. Interestingly, they hijack your router settings and after that you had to call them to make config changes, which I never understood but may have been a "save you from yourself" thing for normal users.

The hardware was so bad that it didn't solve the issue, though, and the inability to change anything on the setup was crippling. I don't get the feeling that too many people bought that service in the first place.

But if you don't get good enough wifi you don't get good enough wifi. Normies will notice that. My frustration ended up being that all the cheapo, built-in solutions without fancy features were noticeably flaky or slow. Security wasn't even in that picture.
