which one better?

currently using archer c7 ac1200 coverage like shit

Nobody use Ac anymore.

what about D link Ax3000?

better than Tp link Ax1800?

if price aint different a lot then go for higher 1

Actually both would be not much different. On paper only is different. I am using MR70X AX1800 router and ASUS OEM PCIE AX200 because i want to try the tech on budget.

I have tried AC600 & AC1300 USB adapters also no different. Range & speed is same. Probably because same AX1800 router.

now days, without MESH, coverage sure like shit.
AX or AC are same shit to me.
invest in 3 pcs mesh better than buy new router

only if you bought cheapo router.
previously i need mesh to cover my upstair room.
now i changed to xiaomi ax9000 full coverage without mesh on 5G

Buy multiple access point put in all room. Jew need to check if your a,b,g,n,AC,AX is in 2.4, 5 or 6GHZ.

Decco m9 isnt Gey

i dont think tplink is lousy router
it depend on house size, partition and slab thickness.
if you wan to gamble with new router is up to you.
i prefer 3 node mesh rather super expensive router and yet not even know if it can penetrate my double story house but 3 story tall in size

AX5400

the lower bandwidth the better coverage

semi d with 2 storey with built up 20' x 80'.
btw i never said tplink is lousy, i said cheapo router. even asus and linksys made cheap router.

well, im just rebuking your claim that any router without mesh sure coverage like shit.

Newer router focus on 5ghz for speed but 5ghz is crap for coverage if you had the router in one corner of the house.

Best if you could place the wifi router in the center of your house.

ths is true. i ask the tm technician to pull the fiber all the way to the middle of the house. now whole house including outside gate can get good coverage. only my back shed abit weak

2 antenna(ax1800) vs 4 antenna(ac2600)
do you have 4 antenna network adapter? if dont have then ax1800 is better
even if you have 4 antenna also i believe ax is better, one connection that you make is equal to one stream and ax is just more efficient per stream.

also why bother with ax1800, when you can have affordable ax3000 already?

router with 4 antenna setup are just bulkier and consume more power to operate.

Just get whatever with 6E, wanna go expensive might as well go all the way

we are moving towards 802.11be and why still wanna use ac router

AX not even a year roll out by most ISP, wanna talk about BE..

before can answer this question and select the right router for you.

how big your house /size ? .. double storey link , 22x70 or apartment or ?

can you place the router in center of house ?

what is your budget ?

what unifi plan are you on. ? 100 Mbps ?or

how many people using in house ?
what services you are using ? cctv camera/ wireless ? netflix ? gaming ?

My answer would be the model that has better support for open source firmware, because most router manufacturers are useless when it comes to long-term security updates.

When u shift to ax wifi 6, speed faster but range lower lagi
I suggest u get asus triband

talk about this open source support for apq60xx and apq50xx is kambing. broadcom can just go dai
