Is there any mesh wifi router by TP-Link?

I am researching Netgear Orbi AC2200 (RBK40). Currently I am using Apple AirPort Extreme (AC) at ground floor with ethernet connecting to TP Link C5 given by Telekom.

At ground floor all wifi signals are perfect, with speed test up to 100mbps ++, my Unifi package is 100mbps.

At upstair, I use Apple Airport Express (N, 2nd Gene) to extend the N network signal from ground floor running on 5ghz. I can see sometimes my Airport Express physical mode speed is drops to 78mbps, with max at round 100mbps. Running speedtest on upstair connecting to Airport Express the speed is around 45mbps.

I wonder if mesh wifi router can improve my situation. Any comments?

Hard to say as mesh wifi router rely on the wireless backhaul system. If one mesh unit is not connecting well to the other unit, the whole system will suffer as a whole.

Yea that’s what worry me too since first floor and ground floor is separated by concrete. And I don’t want invest in mesh WiFi only to find out its same or worse than current speed. cry.gif

I think your best option is powerline

I have suggested a lot of my friends to try the powerline wireless extender and it's all been good. smile.gif

I use the AV1200 variant personally. Prior to this, I use the AV500 model and the performance is better than mesh to be honest.

I am looking at http://www.netgear.com/home/products/netwo...x#tab-techspecs , the user manual states that it has a pick-a-plug LED which indicates the link rate where GREEN indicating the speed at > 80Mbps. How can I know actual link speed between 2 Powerline is at least 100Mbps cause my Unifi download speed is 100Mbps.

What router you use now?

The new powerline should be able to reach 100Mbps if you are lucky.

Did you ever tested TP C5400 on a double storey house with router at ground floor and testing connection at upstair?

I am looking for a good wifi router which at least can give me 100mbps wireless connection at upstairs.

Buy online would be cheaper? See here for link from a reliable seller: http://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-dual-band...53bfTNPvbc&mp=1

Thanks haha but I bought already.

My current speed:

How do interpret the speed? Is 220Mbps the link speed between two power line device (adaptor at downstair and extender at upstair). I used to get around 78Mbps to 114Mbps before this when using Airport Express on upstair to extend the wifi network.

One of the best TP-Link products I ever own too. biggrin.gif

Tips: Use the tpPLC app on your phone to view the connectivity speed so you don't need the desktop app.

Yea am using the app too. One thing I notice the 5ghz channel is only 36 40 44 and 48. In my AirPort Extreme I see all these channels plus a few more at 100 plus.
