Hi Guys , anyone can recommend which brand mesh WiFi is better for condo use ? Due to one of my room have dead zone. Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

tenda nova mw6, easy installation, cheaper compare to others

Deco M4 hands down

How big is the condo? My 2 floor house around 3000 sqft also still have good coverage using a single router. The least speed around 200Mbps. Unless you have metal wall

my house using deco m4, so far so good. bought the 3 pcs pack because double storey house, but only use 2 pcs can cover whole house already until car porch area.

If condo just buy a better router or router try to place different location

This sounds like the typical linked house (ie. those 22x70 ones), it’s the whole landarea. Means the living/room area is way smaller then that, it only seems “bigger” because got 2 floor - and for the purpose of this topic, yes the router can cover it, since its omni-directional with a set radius.

I have one unit of condo 2800sq.ft, and have to place my router near a wall for cosmetic purposes(hidden), and i couldn’t get good coverage at dry kitchen. When i masuk wet kitchen, just 1 bar.

To TS, just get asus AI mesh, easy to set up, no fuss. What model/price point - you ownself see what fits you.

whats the difference between m4 and e4?

more important thing for mesh is make sure you get a triband. one of the bands will be use for backhaul. if you dont have this, speed will be half at the nodes

as for brands - asus for me.

Deco M9 Plus.
ASUS CT8
ASUS XT8

E4 LAN Port is only up to 100Mbps.
If 300Mbps or 500Mbps not suitable.
Suitable for 100Mbps and below.

oh tqtq. tplink website also never mention

how about tenda and mercusys?

The product page got mention is 10/100Mbps LAN Port.
Tenda cannot comment as I never use.
Mercusys is the same company as TP-Link.
Subrand of TP-Link.

wifi 6 ?

Wi-Fi 6 is known as AX.
Which question that you're referring to?

As long no wired backhaul, none. Wireless to wireless not stable.

1st u have to tell us what is your current internet speed

if just 100mbps then u wont go wrong with the tplink deco series and forget about wifi6 coz of your internet speed

It is a semi-D and it is a build-up area not including land. It depends on the router you buy. Two floor is even more challenging because the floor is is concrete bar. The normal brick wall is easier to penetrate. Well, it depends on what you have inside the house.

I also bought Asus thinking that I could upgrade to mesh later because of Asus flexibility. However, it ended up that my speed test upstairs with door closed is still around 200Mbps even with 5GHz. The router was located near front wall besides TV.

Although Asus has a mesh set, you don't need to buy the set. Can select many model that support mesh and they do not have to be same model to my knowledge. Add mesh unit upon requirement.

Deco X20

thanks for telling us, your father is MAN.

what is the best and cheapest MESH to get right now?

So this tenda compatible with tplink archer routers?

dunno if cheap , but deco mesh works flawlessly in my house. been using it 2years + . never regret it. mine is M4

yes it is. it uses a separate setting for the mesh network so it will compatible with most home router out there as long as your router have an extra LAN port.

Thanks . Are you on archer routers ?

This is great! Thanks for sharing

M4 2 pairs also need 350 lor

M4 is wifi 6????

Semi-d house >4k sq ft

Using 3 Asus AX routers in mesh, main router is AX86U

WiFi 7 is commercially out now.. but the price is still xpensive ard RM700-RM1k/unit

nope. router is the ori unifi TM one


nope i think just wifi 5

Oh. I am still looking if I need mesh or AX router.

if room have dead zone perhaps u need a mesh to extend it

Just bought a 3 pack Deco BE25 (Wifi 7) cause my old Wifi 6 router keep dropping signal after 2 years.

I feel worth it cause before I used to get 70-80Mbps now can get 120-150Mbps on wireless backhaul.
