IMO, their AX72/AX73 is much better value than their own BE230 for now, get them while you still can

The coverage from AX72/AX73 is just much better compare to their BE230

And for mesh versus router, depending on your property type. For condo, mesh is almost always a must now.

For landed if it's not too big, you can do with 1x good router at center of ground floor.

Condo walls are usually metal reinforced concrete instead of brick walls at landed

For a rough estimate, 1 layer of metal reinforce concrete wall reduces 40% of the 5GHz signal

This means your 5GHz coverage is usually gone after 3 walls and barely usable after 2 walls

2.4GHz will be better but due to the nature of condo, it will have bad interference issue, resulting in ping spike or laggy WiFi calls

Hence you need mesh node extend the 5GHz coverage

TLDR: Condos are usually better built than landed and the metal reinforced concrete slabs are acting as farday cage

THANKS for the suggestion, now using wifi card tplink tx2oe, ax210 is currently being shipped from china.

was initially looking at ax73, tenda rx27 pro ( wifi 6e to complement ax210) and also found cheap ax86u in shopee maybe telco set from another country. i think thats all on my list for sub rm500 router

Do wifi 6e perform better in my case?

also found your review of ax73 on your website and currently looking for the best deal online

When you upgrade to a new router, often is not just the WiFi generational upgrade

Newer routers often come with better WiFi radio chip and they might have stronger signal and better at dealing with interference and this will benefit older WiFi devices as well

That's why when I am testing WiFi 7 routers with WiFi 6 devices,  there will be performance uplift as well
