ZenWiFi AC (CT8)

I use ASUS routers configured with AiMesh using Ethernet for backhaul; absolutely rock solid and all the configuration I need. They're a hodge-podge of devices that I've either upgraded over the years, or picked up from FleaBay. My main router is an RT-AX88U Pro, with Ethernet connections to a pair of ZenWifi AC's, and a wireless connection to an RT-AC86U. The ZenWifi units were purchased for £50 second-hand, and the RT-AC86U was repurposed when I got the RT-AX88U Pro. Whatever route you go, if you can possibly run Ethernet to the mesh nodes, do it.

Had these, they are in a box in the garage now, hot garbage. Devices always stuck on the wrong node and all the subscription bs, and only app cloud access (no local page). Best mesh is no mesh. Before that had Asus x7s they were great but those got hacked and took Asus a month to patch, garbage. Ended up going deep down the rabbit hole and getting unifi gear used for about the same price of the tp crap. The tp link omada stuff is tp links version and a little cheeper and supposedly pretty good too. It's a little more advanced than the super dumbed down consumer crap but works way better.

Yeah I like the ASUS approach as well. Mine just works, and it is so easy to add another node anytime I want since their stuff is all interoperable with the AiMesh setup.

Eero (Amazon), tp link Deco, and Asus ZenWifi are all well-reviewed and perform well. If you've got to go mesh, look for a tri-band system with a dedicated backhaul channel (Eero, Deco, and ZenWifi all have models). Eero and Deco are a little more "plug and play". ZenWifi is also easy to set up, and some models give a few more config options/control than Eero or deco. The tricky part is that you don't know how well mesh will perform until you set it up in your place. Two nodes might be enough, but you might need three (or four). A 6 ghz backhaul channel might work, but, if the walls and floors in your place cause a lot of interference, you might see better perf with a 5 ghz backhaul. So buy from a place you can return it, maybe start with three nodes, test how coverage and speeds look, go from there. All three have 2.5 Gbps ports. 3 gig is a *lot* of bandwidth for a residential setup. Unless you're regularly downloading gigantic files (video, game updates), you probably won't exceed ~300-500 Mbps, and WiFi will de facto limit the perf on any device to ~200-600 Mbps. For most homes, 200 Mbps is plenty. If the 3 gig price isn't much different than ~300 Mbps (if you're in the US, it's hard to find service under ~300 Mbps), go for it, but if you're paying a premium for 3 gig, you can save some coin and you almost certainly won't notice a difference in performance. If you're in Europe, you rule!, fiber away because you're prob only paying like €40 for 3 gig.

bro mesh wifi system le better rahega na. tplink deco or asus zenwifi dono budget options hai around 3-5k range mein. extender vs mesh setup always mesh > extender
