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.

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

Singtel broadband plan expired, thinking of switching to starhub / M1. what are the things to note / any extra fees?

1gbps good enough. If you know for sure that you need more then you know exactly how much you need. If you not sure, means 1gpbs enough liao Also the singtel mesh devices are trash. If you're price conscious, the tp-link Deco M5 is cheap, gets the job done and can be found on carousell.

Moved into a house with solar barely any info left by previous owner (now with pictures)

Yeah it will remember. The best thing to do is to grab a two pack (or three pack) of tp-link Deco m5 or m7 mesh WiFi jobbers. Set them up with a nice WiFi name ‘fozzie free WiFi’ and make the password ‘your phone!!’ Or something. Then whenever you change your router, you just turn the WiFi off and p

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

I have an M5 mixed in with M9. I would use an M9 as the main deco instead of the M5. Also don't pass everything though that Kitchen M9. Put a switch there and not use the M9 as a one port switch like you have now or just plug your main deco into the same switch as the other ones. And get rid of that

Help with Screenbeam Moca 2.5 & TP Link Deco M5

Ok, I got it working. I decided to pull everything apart and start over, but go one baby step at a time. - I disconnected the 3-way splitter, left the poe filter on, and connected it to just the one line that brings internet into the basement - at the modem, I connected the 2-way splitter with a lin
