Archer AX55 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 Router

No, sorry, I'm not sure why they have multiple model numbers. I have this one: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax55/ My house isn't big enough to need a mesh, but this one still covers two floors and the yard.

I've got a TP-Link AX3000 and it's been flawless.

Unless you buy router with 2.5gbps Ethernet port you won’t be even able to use that 2500mbps connection To my memory the lowest model with 2.5gbps port is AX55 pro, non-pro version has standard 1gig Ethernet You should consider buying AX55 pro now so you can use faster internet connection later, AX55 is also good router in general (I had AX55 non-pro before moving to deco mesh) You can also consider going a step further and check BE-something routers, that are wifi7 capable (have band aggregation even if some of them don’t have 6GHz radio), this will also future-proof you for a few years

[Bought this router 2 years ago.](https://www.czone.com.pk/network-products-routers-wireless-tp-link-archer-ax55-ax3000-dual-band-gigabit-wi-fi-6-router-onemesh-wpa3-pakistan-p.13009.aspx) it's much cheaper now and still going strong. It also has WIFI6 so your WIFI6 enabled devices will also again a free boost in performance. its ethernet ports are also 1Gbps so you can run speeds upto 1Gbps which is good if you ever go above 100Mbps speeds.

[should get the job done](https://www.czone.com.pk/network-products-routers-wireless-tp-link-archer-ax55-ax3000-dual-band-gigabit-wi-fi-6-router-onemesh-wpa3-pakistan-p.13009.aspx) When i bought this it was for 32k

Ok, that's not that big and 1 access point should cover it. I think you'll be fine with any wifi 6 router, honestly. Avoid any of the mesh systems, and don't use any repeaters. As long as you have the wifi 6 router wired directly to the modem, you'll get the best possible latency and performance. Personally, I'm a fan of TP-Link, so there are two I could recommend, if you're looking for a specific model. * TP-Link Archer AX1450 - $50: It'll do everything you want and it'll perform well. It's an older model, so the availability of it will be more limited. However, it also could be much cheaper if you're considering a used one, since people may be selling their old router when they upgrade. I see there are some listed for only $25 on ebay. * TP-Link Archer AX55 - $65-100(there are some sales now, if you can get one for a decent sale price): This is a step up from the AX1450 and this is a current model. It'll do all the same things, but has more powerful hardware and will support higher maximum speeds, if you're looking for something more future proof. The AX1450 is really all you need, since it can support speeds up to 1 gbps over wifi, assuming all the connected device also supports speed that high. The speed it supports is well beyond what you mentioned as your requirement. The AX55 is almost twice as fast as the AX1450, but since the AX1450 is already so much faster than what you need, the AX55 may just be overkill and unnecessary.

There's nothing wrong with the AX12. It's a step up from either of those I mentioned, but it also costs $150. If you're ok with spending that much on it, then you can get that one, but it's kinda overkill from what you described as needing. The reason to avoid wifi mesh, is because a mesh system uses multiple wifi access points that communicate wirelessly, to extend range. With the size of the coverage area you need, you don't need the additional range, in my opinion, so you won't benefit from it. Also, in a mesh system, your traffic is sent to one of the mesh access points, then the mesh system needs to relay that traffic from point to point, until it reaches the central router. Those additional hops in the mesh system increase latency. In summary, for your purpose, a mesh system will just increase latency and won't give you any benefit, since you don't need the range. So you'd get all the cons and no pros of using a mesh system. And to clarify that, I don't mean that you should avoid a "mesh compatible" device. Devices can be mesh compatible, but that doesn't mean you're using the mesh functionality. My suggestion is simply to not use mesh. If you buy a router that is compatible with a mesh environment, and you're not using the mesh functionality, there's no harm in that.

Im currently using AX55 and its good.

I have slt fibre 300/100 mbps and using tp link ax55 router. SLT ONT on bridge mode and pppoe auth done via ax55. No issues.
