Best budget option for mesh wifi with dual band.
I'd go with the TP-Link Deco M5 solid budget mesh, dual-band, easy setup. Covers your size home fine. Wi-Fi 6 is nice, but not a must unless you’ve got a lot of newer devices. Deco M5 (Wi-Fi 5) should be enough.

They think I'm crazy
The latency is really specific to everyone’s own setup and then the things they don’t have control over, external factors right behind the router all the way to Nvidia. What works for you might not work for everyone. I’ll say I have really rarely issues and most of the time I’m using a wired connect

Just so everyone knows NordVPN is actually Lithuanian
Yeah these Deco M5 came with the fiber, been planning on replacing them in the near future.

Mesh network device
I’ve been using TP Link Deco M5 for 4 years. I bought six, three are in my house, one is on my back deck, one is in a garage and one is in an outdoor boathouse. I was able to blanket my whole yard (3 different buildings) in a mesh. The three that are not in the house, have been exposed to outdoor am

How will I upgrade my router?
I’m not familiar with huawei products, but do you know what the lan Ethernet ports are? If they’re 1 gig ports, you could just disable the wifi on the huawei and hook up any 3rd party access point. A lot of consumer products on the market will probably be all in one routers with wifi built in, but t

On the other M5, use one port to connect to the LAN. Because you bought a pack of three M5s, you can put a switch between th

Gen 3 - Wifi and wired network at the same time?
I've got Gen3 and used both ethernet ports to connect to switches. Also, was using the wifi for a while too, but found it too weak so now use my old Deco M5 Mesh which seems to be holding up fine at the moment.
