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.

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

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.

TP-Link Deco M5 & M9 Mixed Fleet - Intermittent Connection Failures

If you need that wireless backhaul in the kitchen, I'd arrange them somehow to make sure you get an M9-M9 backhaul. M9-M5 backhaul is not as good. The M5 only has 2 bands and the M9 has 3. Also... the 2.4 ghz bands although less theoretical speed than the 5ghz bands can travel further and through wa

Do these power line extenders really work ?

powerline ethernet - it's hit and miss - I had 'gigabit' ones when attempting to resolve issues with the TV/iplayer buffering/messing about - but they couldn't do more than 80mbit/s ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07ZWFMYTY ) and I ended up having to power cycle them roughly once a month. I've since

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

Complete beginner - was TP-link deco M5 the wrong purchase?

Deco can absolutely work with an Ethernet backhaul. On one of your M5s, use one port to connect to WAN, and the other to connect to LAN. This is the Router Mode configuration. 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
