Model: Archer AX10

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi, I have an existing router (Archer AX10) connected to my ISP modem. Now, I'm planning on buying additional routers to expand the Wi-Fi coverage on my 2-storey home. My ISP just offered a twin-pack Deco M5 for a discounted price. Will I be able to put the M5's in different parts of my house, then they wirelessly connect them via Mesh to my Archer AX10 (connected to my ISP modem)? If not, what's the best way to expand my Wi-Fi coverage?

I would go for the Deco M5 from your ISP. ISP modem => AX10 => Deco M5 (in AP mode) connected by cable. Second Deco M5 to your second floor connected by Wi-Fi to the first Deco M5.

Keep in mind that Deco M5 is a AC1300 device, so if you are keen to have Wi-Fi 6 standard accross your entire home you should go for X20/X60/X90 Deco's.
