A word of warning.
Don't buy TP-Link AX20 if anyone here wants to use the OneMess functionality.
TP-Link pulled a bait and ignorance on previously AX50 model. They added the NOTICE below after FLASH SALES of AX50. dry.gif
Note that it is "planned" for the OneMess. Who knows if TP-Link will pull another same stunt on AX20 too. puke.gif

TP-Link OneMesh firmware for Archer AX20 is already released. wink.gif

wise suggestion.

the beauty with aimesh system is that u can mix and match with other asus routers that support aimesh, ax or ac

That's the only beauty I afraid. Stability and performance depends on which models used. Roaming is pretty much non-existent.

I highly value roaming in a mesh WiFi system. Without a good roaming, mesh WiFi is nothing more than wireless repeater on same SSID.

I got myself the ax56u, 11.11 sales below RM 300,super happy

Was using ac87u. Can say ax56u coverage is way much better. However, the nightmare begins when my smart home switches can't pair with ewelink app using 56u, I have to use a repeater for the smart switches

Hope there's a fix to this in future firmware or ewelink update

I think it's due to WiFi 6 compatibility issue.

Try to disable the WiFi 6 function on the RT-AX56U.

1) Would this damper the range of the router?

2) I also use my old Ac87u as media bridge, connected to this ax56u, disabling wifi6 will it mean I have to change any settings in ac87u?
Appreciate your input. Tq in advance
*
1) Nope

2) Probably not

Good day.

I am currently using RT-AC86U.
Would the AX-55U be a good match as an AiMesh satellite?

If not, what would be a good (low cost) match?

Thank you.

Try and let us know how stable/reliable it is and the actual performance.
