TP-Link - EAP650 AX3000 Ceiling Mount WiFi 6 Access Point

For starters, the [EAP650](https://ph.shp.ee/JJkSZqV), paired with an Omada gateway or controller of your choice.

+1 for Zyxel, NWA90AX Pro in my case After testing TP’s EAP650 I gave up (used it with software controller) - nice UI and app but there was always “something” with the connection like drops, instability etc

Omada is the way

I had nothing but issues with my TP link Omada system when I had it. Ran it for a few years but what finally pushed me to get rid of it was I went work from home for my job and my zoom calls kept dropping. 

I want with Omada since it’s cheaper and does the job I basically built my network and connect my router wan to the ISP It’s ISP agnostic and worked fine with bell

Went from Google WiFi to TP-link Omada. Night and day improvement.

Get a new mesh system and connect the nodes to the existing wires. I’ve used Orbi in the past, and Ubiquiti and TP-Link Omada, and they are all good.

This. UniFi if you have a larger budget or Omada if you have a tighter budget. Both are great.

If you are able to have a wired backhaul for your mesh nodes, consider a total TP-Link Omada system: ER605 EAP650 x2 SG208P Then you can install the controller onto a PC or Mac and you would have a great, expandable network.

Tp-Link all he way. Either Deco (if you want ease of installation) or Omada (if you want configurability). You can run the Omada Controller locally as a HA Add-On and also there is an Omada Integration giving you control over all your Omada gear, including control over PoE management on switches.

I was lured into Omada by the price tag (and the fact that I've had TP Link since 2014, even when all I had was a single router). I regret it. The interface is insanely slow, and everything is incredibly underpowered. Roaming between access points is a nightmare. mDNS pass-through between VLANs doesn't work, despite configuring the settings exactly as they say to. They act like they have features of a real network system, but everything has been slow to roll out. They're constantly adding the basics, like mDNS pass-through. If you know what you're doing with a network, I wouldn't recommend them.

I have a full omada stack and I still would say unifi, I am likely going to go back to unifi when it's time to go from 6 to 7, the controllers for TP-Link just can't keep up with the speed and it's all very flaky.

if you want speed, you definitely need deco in each room. if you just want coverage, whatever I guess. get the one you can afford, just make sure that the deco your buying is gigabit capable, at least the main deco that is going to connect to your ISP provided CPE ONT, tapos you can go cheap with the satelite/slave devices to widen the coverage.
