Hi All,
House type: Landed
Size of house: 3300 Square feet 2 floor
Internet Speed: 100mbps
Budget: 300-500

Currently I'm on unifi 100Mbps with Archer C8 free wifi router by TM.. Is it better to get the Archer AX20 or a MESH system to have a better signal at 1st floor? (current router on ground floor).. Pls advise.. tq

3300 sq ft is pretty big, if you can put the AX20 at the middle of the house then that will be sufficient.

If not, Deco M5 twin pack is the next choice.

thanks, i will get the AX20 first.. Wanna know if Deco M4 twin pack will be sufficient for the next choice also since i'm using 100Mbps only and the price is almost cheaper by rm150.

hi all,

I'm now using TPLink AX20 router, may i know if I buy a 2 pack mesh, can the mesh after connecting to internet i put the 2 independently at different place or must have 1 mesh using cable connected to the AX20 router? For example; my AX20 is at my main living room now, can I put 1 mesh at second living room and 1 at 1st floor? Or must put 1 mesh connected to AX20 at main living room. tq
