Try Channel 44 or Channel 149 The AX73 enabled 160Mhz by default. When using 160Mhz mode the router tends to use DFS channels and they are known to be weaker.

QUOTE(yongtjunkit @ Mar 20 2021, 07:43 AM) Deco M4 replacing the TPlink C1200 yongtjunkit You are right Deco support 802.11r. After some studies on Deco and AiMesh, 802.11r aren't secure as 802.11k, learned this "In October 2017 security researchers Mathy Vanhoef (imec-DistriNet, KU Leuven) and Frank Piessens (imec-DistriNet, KU Leuven) published their paper "Key Reinstallation Attacks: Forcing Nonce Reuse in WPA2" (KRACK). This paper also listed a vulnerability of common 802.11r implementations and registered the CVE identifier CVE-2017-13082". 802.11rTplink deco series is one of the best mesh WiFi system in the market, it has fast roaming support with asus aimesh doesnβt have You can read blacktubi review here https://www.blacktubi.com/review/tp-link-deco-m4-review/ ASUS implemented AiMesh 2.0 which is using 802.11k and 802.11v standard to achieve fast roaming, meanwhile your network is more secure.

QUOTE(quanonly90 @ Mar 19 2021, 06:51 PM) Hello Guys, Hi, if you are interested to use mesh, i'm selling Deco M4 --> Deco M4Currently having issue with wifi connectivity in my ground floor living room. Main router is at first floor. Unifi Package 300mbps. Currently using TpLink Archer C1200 router with RE405 wifi extender. There are around 10-12 devices in my house connecting to wifi. Would like to max out speed in my living room as well. Please advise which solution is better for better wifi coverage: Solution 1. Change the old router to twin Asus RT-AX55 running Aimesh. One in First floor and the other one in ground floor. Solution 2. Change the old router to TP-Link AX20 or AX 73 and buy onemesh compatible Wifi extender. Solution 3. Buy Deco M4 twin pack and run at mesh wifi with old router TP Link C1200. |
