Yes some of my friend using M4, coverage is good but speed deteriorate significantly in double story house. Only receiving 80-90mbps out of 500mbps subscription on the next floor.

Since my concern is more on speed as I dont actually move around that much in the house, would the AX73 pair with Onemesh extender a good solution ? I already have the extender, just have to buy the AX73.

Read the review from the blacktubi, the Ax73 seems quite good as well.

Any dual-band mesh WiFi will face severe speed degradation on the mesh node. It will get even worst when more devices are connected as the available bandwidth is exhausted.

Doesn't matter which brand because it's how WiFi technology works.

If you want performance, stick to a tri-band mesh WiFi.

ASUS: ZenWiFi XT8, ZenWiFi CT8, RT-AX92U
TP-Link: Deco X90, Deco M9 Plus

Yes on lan i can reach 300mbps as per my subscription but wifi performance very bad when outside of my room. Inside room can reach 300mbps

Disable smart connect and don't use 160Mhz on the 5Ghz channel.

It is not helpful for your internet speed.

So set it to 80mhz instead of auto ? How about the channel ?

Yup, use 80Mhz on 5Ghz

Just make sure you don’t use DFS channels. 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.

Hello, tested both the AX73 + RE305V3 Onemesh and Deco M4. Still Deco M4 give better coverage and speed in my case.

However, I have an issue now with windows file sharing as my desktop connected to my AX 73 directly using Lan, while my phone connect to the M4 and I cant access my file in my windows from my phone now. Anyone can help ?

Change operation mode on Deco M4 to access point mode.
