Zigbee router recommendations?

[fleet reef]

Right now I have five dedicated tuya routers and one tuya luminance sensor that acts as a router. The luminance sensor works surprisingly well, decent quality signal despite the range I have it at. Three of the dedicated routers are performing poorly signal-wise. I'd like some suggestions of better router devices if possible.

I know Hue bulbs are supposed to be quite good, but while I'll be adding some of those to ZHA soon, they're all in the same room as the server. I'm keen on recommendations for all device types though, as long as they act as a router.

Hi @fleet reef,
Just have a zigbee wall wort or 2 in each room.It's a mesh network, you not's need some dedicated router, all the powered devices are routers. Be careful of lightbulbs, though. Some like Singled boulb are end devices and do not route. Id ant of your routing bulbs are in a situation where the power is cut to them, that messes up your mesh so don't have routing bilbs where they are hard power cut circuits.

Innr plugs make excellent routers

My Third Reality smart plugs work well, Sonoff dongle with router firmware also does
