That AX55 at 259 quid on Laza is very tempting ...

I ended up getting it after I failed to get the AX56U. I remember I have cash in my lazada wallet hahahaha. I don't really need the USB function.

It's mainly to replace one of my mesh nodes

Let me sleep on it ...

Just saw it, for 200 more, should I get the tuf-ax3000 instead of ax56u?

It really depends on the coverage size of your home / number of devices connected

In a <1,000 sq ft unit, the 56U should be sufficient

It's double storey

In that case, you're better off with two AX routers in mesh

2 x AX55 will do the job very nicely, especially if you have ethernet backhaul

Thinking about that too but i don't have ethernet backhaul in the house. the options now is either using Wifi extender or homeplug.

Although I cannot find any online reviews yet, as a mesh system, 2 units of AX55 should have no problem connecting via wireless backhaul

I am currently running AiMesh using different routers / mixed ethernet and wireless backhauls

You do not need any extenders

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.

Roaming on my Ai Mesh has been pretty good actually, I achieve 99% good handoff to the best node

What's weird is that it's just 3 different Asus routers cobbled together in mesh

No complaints from me
