Wi-Fi Access Point recommendations for smaller home.

I've read through some of the older thread on here but haven't found anything really answers my question. So....

I'm a homeowner of an older house (1959) without Ethernet currently wired upstairs. We've renovated downstairs and I added Ethernet to every room. We're having issues with our doorbell cameras continually joining and being dropped from our existing wireless network. If I move the access point supplied by the ISP to one side of the basement, the doorbells on that side work and the other side doesn't. And vice versa. So I'm looking to find an access point that has a stronger signal/longer range/help with better connectivity for devices in our home. We have a number of devices including 2 computers, 2 phones, 2 TVs, 2 doorbells, 4 co2,mo detectors.

Our current internet speed is 3Gb supplies via fibre, and I've never had an issue with our Wi-Fi speeds.

Are there any recommendations on brand, or models to look for, or avoid?

I'm Canadian and would likely be able to get a hold of most available types from either Amazon or Memory Express.

Looking for suggestions on quality ear buds that can be used for falling sleep.

My wife's Google Buds are starting to go, and she likes to use them around the house as well as for falling asleep.

I'm Partial to Sennheiser, They are what I've been using for years, but they don't appear to currently carry an earbud that would work well for falling asleep. Something that doesn't protrude outside the ear too much is what I'm looking for.

I'm open to spending up to about 250-300$ Canadian for the right pair.

New 20ft garage door installation. Best hardware and weather stripping?

My wife and I are building a new garage in Edmonton Alberta, it will also have a shop in it. It's 814sqft with a natural gas heater. I'm looking to try and increase the test retention from my garage door. The contractor is putting in a R16 door. But I'm looking into better hinges and weather stripping to try and increase this value.

I've seen https://greenhingecanada.ca/ and they seem to offer a better seal against the outside wall. But I haven't found any definitive "best" option for the weather stripping for the bottom and potentially a soft seal I can install around the outside to help prevent both wind and snow intrusion during the winter.

Anyone have any recommendations for hinges, weather stripping, other additions to help the situation?

Our cabinet are coming out with the sleepers and bottom being about .5mm proud I'm the front after they are installed. Some mallet loved can get the sleepers into place, but the bottoms are more of a problem. I can't find a option for how to do adjustments on the cabineo location. I'd love to moved them .5mm in, but again, I can't find an option to do it. Anyone know how?
