Yeah, I've read decent reviews on both the x60 and x90. I may just try to use my old router as an AP, but if I were to go the mesh route with the x60 or x90 would it make sense to use those in AP mode with my TP-Link 3200 as the router (wifi off) or to use one of the mesh units at the main router?

Actually I just realized it's an old Archer C7 V2 that I have. It looks like it doesn't have AP mode. You can use bridge mode though.

I do have an old TP-Link Archer A7 that I could use in AP mode (I think), but I'd be worried that they wouldn't handle roaming between the router and AP and they would overlap too much. I know the Deco x90 is supposed to have some AI stuff to handle directing the signal and roaming (I've read...

I currently have one TP-Link 3200 V1 running my entire network (Fios 500/500 internet). It performs really well and handles all our devices while we work from home and stream TV over the internet. That being said, there is one area of the house where the signal doesn't really reach (can barely...

Anybody know when these adapters will be in stock?

Understood. How difficult is it to set up and configure Merlin? I see people talking about it all the time with the Asus routers, but I don't know anything about it. Is this some firmware I just upload to the router periodically, or are there special steps to get this going?

So, the reason I brought up the TP-Link C2300 is because I can get it for $70 on eBay from the official TP-Link store, and I would imagine I can get the Netgear 7800 for cheap too. For the price of one Asus RT-AX88U, I could almost buy 3 Eero Pro units. So if I were to go that route, what...

I have one last question before I pull the trigger on something (hopefully). My current house is 3100 sqft in roughly square shape (although part of that is the garage, so it is somewhat L shaped). My main router is near the front corner of the house. My current TP-Link C7 V2 has a...

That definitely makes sense, but I was just curious if this was still an "issue" or not.

I haven't purchased them yet, but I was considering doing so today. What kind of speeds are you seeing when connected to the Eero Pro (the main one and then the satellites)? After doing some searching I've seen people complaining about the speed (like max speed of around 200 or 250 mbps in the...

There is a targeted deal going around for Amex 20% off if you pay with points (you can use one point and still get the discount). You can use it multiple times, but there is a max discount ($50 I believe). It looks like I only have $27 remaining, so it would be that much off. I was hoping I...

Would the EdgeRouter X be more powerful than an Eero? I would assume either would be better than my current Archer C7 as a router.

Amazon has refurbished Eero Pro's selling for $119 right now, and I have a stacking discount. So, I was considering replacing my old TP-Link C7 with two Eero Pro units (3100 sqft house). Right now the second unit would be using the wireless backhaul, but at some point in the future I may try...

I haven't had FIOS (or any other cable) TV in over a year, so it would not compete with any TV boxes. It sounds like there is a lot more that goes into this than setting up powerline...

Any help would be appreciated.

I have Frontier Fios internet that comes in via ethernet cable. I do not have any kind of TV service (I just using streaming). Previously I had TV through Frontier, and at one point the internet came in via coax as well (before upgrading to the 500/500 speed I have now). I am interested in...

This thing periodically goes on sale on Amazon for right over $50 (new). The A9 is also supposed to be nice and sometimes sells for a little over $70.

Does anybody have any experience with the TP-Link Archer AX3000? I'm curious how that would compare to the models already discussed.

From a range standpoint is the Archer C2300 better than the C7 V2? I understand that it is faster and more powerful. I've never had a router with beamforming, so I don't really understand how much that helps.

Okay, fair enough. So, what would I be gaining by going with an Asus (like the one you recommend) vs going with a TP-Link Router? For instance, the TP-Link AX6000 is about the same price as the Asus RT-AX88U. I frequently see people recommend Asus routers, but why exactly?
