Got to be honest to you that there's no definite answer for this.

Every house is constructed differently but I would say the C5400 is one of the strongest wireless router around. You have to use 5Ghz and make sure your router is placed in the middle of your house.

That's why it is my current main router also. Partly also because it is cheap. biggrin.gif

Hey BlackTubi, awesome reviews on your site. I want to ask whether the TP Link C2600 is reaching end of life? And the general standard now for price/performance is AC1900. However TP Link AC1900s looks like crap tbh. Actually I like the design of the C3200 and C5400 more than others by alot but these are super overkill. xD Should I go for the C2300 or the C3150 V2? And what do you recommend for extending wifi coverage for >5000 sq ft. Heard that mesh is not good for concrete? Extender? Thanks.

I prefer a router + powerline extender combo. It is the most cost effective and able to deliver better performance that a mesh network config. It works really well for Malaysian houses with reinforced concrete wall.

AC1900 is the best 2 years ago but now we are already on AC3150 with Wireless AC Wave 2 MU-MIMO. biggrin.gif

Go for the C3150 V2, a lot of people use that model and it's really good. Must cheaper than other brands as well.

Powerline or wifi range extender? :confused:

He meant powerline, not WiFi extender.

What is the AC pasthrough in powerline? Will it work with three phase? I experienced previous powerline before and it is super unstable. Pretty sure it was the old wiring problem though. xD
