I mean 2 diff range of routers, not mesh unit with same ssid. Or what i mean is, 2 individual APs.

I see...got it! yeah those are leceh. Sorry misunderstood earlier.

Ya that was my meaning i never go back after using tplink deco series.

True also. Even with mesh systems, - more accurately 802.11[r,k,v]. WiFi Mesh nowadays is more a marketing term - ultimately it's still up to the device whether it wants to switch or not.

For sure your house will have spots where the signal is the same but one AP is faster than the other. And dunno why the phone always connects to the one that is slower.

My master toilet is one such place. No matter what I'm using, Deco M4, M9 Plus, X20, Mikrotik hAP ac, ac2, ax3 and now DLink X3060Z, the same thing happens.

Another one is the camera in my front door, for some strange reason, it always connect to the AP at the back of the house instead of the one 10ft away from it. This can be solved by using separate SSIDs like what you do. Since I prefer a single SSID, I solve this by blocking that camera from the back AP but I can only do this when using Mikrotik APs.

Another thing is power, I never use 100%. Too much overlap in the signal. TPLink Deco team knows this so their products all have conservative power settings. Buy more Decos instead of increasing power.

Looks like it has be tri-band then. M9 Plus is really cheap now but Wifi5 only. The current Wifi6 Deco tribands are too expensive.

You'll also need to see if you have a good place to put the unit where it's family approved, has a power point and good signal from the main unit. Harder than it sounds.

Or hack the walls and conceal a cable.

I wonder if we can do our own FTTR using Huawei solution..

i sold my dlink dir-x3060z. i like fiberhome sr1041f more

why not use tplink cheaper solution

Any reasons why? Colour? Design?

I feel like fiberhome wifi 6 stability is better from my brief experience with sr1041y model. Just than features wise its lacking only. Almost close to tp link archer level

Stability compared to X3060Z? Stability in what way?

No experience yet with x3060z. Actually at that time because got upgraded from dir842 to sr1041y maybe as part of recontract. Feels like sr1041y is better than dir842 in terms of ping, packet lose and range as well as the speed that can more easily to reach 300mbps

Since TS provide good test result for the router, anyone interested to get one unit? Got 1 unit for sell here

Fiberhome sr1041f give better speed when connected to mesh via wifi.

I can easily get 200mbps+ when i’m in room upstairs. Dlink struggle to give 100-150mbps.

Coverage wise both dlink dir x3060z and fiberhome sr1041f works really well.

when use the mesh as bridge mode, after disable dhcp.. the router die die cant connect.. what setting did i set wrongly?

No idea what you did but just set Bridge mode. No need to disable DHCP, it should be done automatically.

Set to bridge mode ok, but i want my main router to assign ip to rest of my devices

That's what I do on mine.

Main router is Mikrotik RB5009.

X3060Z-#1
• Set bridge mode
• Connect WAN port to Mikrotik
• DLink will get IP address from Mikrotik
• No need to disable DHCP or set IP address
• Configure EasyMesh

X3060Z-#2
• No need to set anything
• Just connect WAN port to LAN switch
• DLink will get IP address from Mikrotik
• EasyMesh will auto configure

Device connected to DLink #1 or #2 wifi will get IP address from Mikrotik.

Device 2 wan port connect to lan port of device 1 or your Mikrotik?

Device 2 connects to a switch which is connected to my Mikrotik RB5009.
