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.

Pake campuran antara deco m5 sama e4, rumah 3.5 lantai antar deco semua terkoneksi kabel lan. Pemakaian sudah 2 tahunan no complaint at all sih. Bener” mulus ga ada dead spot “perpindahan” antara router jg seamless. 10/10 would recommend

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

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

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.

Questions regarding starting an AT&T Fiber basic home setup with Omada.
I'd buy an ER605v2 ($56) and one EAP610 ($90). Put them both by the AT&T ONT (maybe with the EAP610 up higher) and see if you get enough of an improvement. For less than $150 this will give you enterprise-grade Wi-Fi. This solved the Wi-Fi weak spots in my 2-story home. It is significantly better th

U7-lite or u7-pro?
The AP7 Lites are easier to manage, as are under the UniFi, no need for the TPLink app. The upstairs AP is in end position but the downstairs AP is still not ideally situated as still need to get the Ethernet into the hall ceiling, so is currently mounted onto front room wall and still reaches outsi

New customer - deadspots
I have a couple of Deco M5 units but it looks like older tech / hardware when compared to the Linksys Velop WiFi 6 router that Toob provide. I'm wondering if I should plug in the Deco or just leave it as is. Its the garden at the back where my WiFi drops a bit but then again I'm not going to be in t

Wifi chega fraco ao meu quarto
Se a casa não tiver rede ethernet, tens 2 opções não invasivas (a opção invasiva é colares cabo ethernet ao longo da parede) : mais facil: powerline (plc) - um modulo ligado ao router, outro no teu quarto mais dificil: se tiveres cabo de antena entre a entrada da casa e o teu quarto, compras cabo co
