QUOTE(duckmanV @ Jul 28 2019, 09:46 PM) House type: Condo I don't recommend using mesh for 1000sqft, it is counter intuitive.

TP-Link Archer C5400X will be faster as it comes with more RAM, two additional CPU cores and an extra WiFi band compared to the RT-AC86U.TP-Link typically offer better specs at a same price but ASUS router do have a better firmware so that will be your call to make. |

TP-LINK C5400X sounds very promising, but at that price point i can't even get a ASUS RT-AC88U.TP-Link typically offer better specs at a same price but ASUS router do have a better firmware so that will be your call to make. |
