CautiousInternal3320I expect two Deco (X60 or X90) would be fine, if they can communicate between floor 0 and floor 2. How does the wifi signal work between your floors? With the router provided by your ISP, do you have some wifi signal on floor 1 and on floor 2? Results of speed test on floors 0, 1 & 2? What is the model of your ISP router and of the device you use for testing?
malki666At just over £200, the TP-LINK Deco X60 system works really well for me. I'm in the UK, also Virgin Media on 1gig. Covers 3 floors no problem also the garage, garden and driveway. Good software with it too.
I second the Deco, good software with it too.
NintendoNoNoOkay thanks. That's how I understood it as well, just wanted to make sure my intuition was correct haha. I just bought a Deco x60 mesh system and plan on setting it up tonight. Hoping I can FINALLY play my Playstation Portal without the resolution tanking and the connection giving up after 5 minutes. I've been using a wifi extender (which I know are certainly not great) and I don't think the Portal enjoys that...
Puzzleheaded-Cold495I have an x6 .. I never feel like I have been let down by it. I use a UNifi USG for the routing tho’
TroubleOk7239Agreed, Deco are a good budget choice. I've found it's possible to mix-and-match generations as I have two XE75s and one X60 all on the same mesh. I've found them pretty easy to configure and live with, at least for my "normal" needs. (i.e. I'm not trying to run a bunch of VLANs or anything fancy)
willyc3766I’ve had a somewhat weird, experience as well, although not the same as yours. I have three X60s and set nodes 2 and 3 up via wired back haul. No issues for a little over a year. Then all of a sudden nodes 2 and 3 started routinely going out. I switched the order of the nodes multiple times, deleted and setup the network from scratch multiple times, swapped all Ethernet cables for new ones, etc. No matter what, it simply does not like node 3 being hard wired to node 2. I finally gave up and settled on node 2 being wired and node 3 being connected wirelessly. No problems since. Every once in a while I try to plug node 3 into the Ethernet cable and sure enough, node 2 and 3 go out. It makes no sense. Otherwise no complaints and really hasn’t affected my range and speed. 🤷♂️
Accomplished-Stand15Tplink Deco WiFi 6 mega is amazing you will not be disappointed
bad10thTPLink AX5400 or AXE5400, done. Those are around $100/$150 on Amaz right now, I did a quick check I am using AXE in 1800ish. The big thing on routers, be sure it has multiple CPUs in it, different class ARM stuff, but you want more than 1. /cheers
