Hi All Sifu, need advice. (posted this question on another Wifi Router thread this morning and only notice this thread in the afternoon)
I am using Time Internet.
Huawei Modem + D-LINK AC1200.
I plan to buy TP-LINK ARHCER AX72 AX5400 to replace the D-Link router.
Question.
I plan to move to another place which has TM Unifi Fibre Broadband.
For 100Mbps, probably I will get AC1200 Router. (No mesh support)
Question: Can I use the TP-Link AX72 setup as Wifi Extender?
For 300Mbps, probably I will get Certified Wifi 6 Router assuming Deco series. (with mesh support). Then I can set up the Mesh with AX72.
Question: What if TM provide other Wifi 6 brand, like D-Link, can I setup mesh with both D-link and TP-link ?
Please correct me whether the Router provided is correct or not.
Basically, I want to buy a new router for my Time Internet for now and plan for future expansion with TM Unifi plan.
1. Why use AX72 as extender, just use it as main router
2. TP-Link Deco mesh is not compatible with TP-Link OneMesh for AX72
3. nope, unless it has Wifi Alliance EasyMesh support, but rarely seen (so far only seen on Maxis stock router, D-Link COVR and some Huawei)
If you want a carefree mesh system, can consider Asus AiMesh, any router with AiMesh support can mesh together
but Asus routers come at a premium cost
