You really need an AP in every large room if you want Wi-Fi to not suck. That’s been the case for every Wi-Fi standard even on 2.4ghz. Increasing range just leads to more interference and latency spikes from hardware retransmit. Things have gotten better now that we have more spectrum, but https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_node_problem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_node_problem is still a problem since the vast majority of devices on the frequency belong to your neighbors.
