Model: Archer AX73  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.3

Hi.

 

First post on this forum - please be gentle!

 

I have just purchased an Archer AX73 WiFi-6 Router to help solve problems I have been experiencing with my Virgin Media Hub 3 (now in Modem Mode).  The VM Hub couldn't cope with the number of simultaneous connections from the various wired and wireless devices.

 

I have several TP-Link Extenders/PowerLine Adapters and I'm interested as to whether they are MESH-capable with this router or if it is a case of buying new.

 

Extenders

1 x RE200 v1.1

 

PowerLine

1 x TL-PA4010 Ver 3

2 x TL-WPA4220 v1.2

2 x TL-WPA4220 v 4.0

 

I also have a couple of NETGEAR Extenders that I'm guessing aren't compatible with TP-Link's One Mesh??

1 x EX7500

1 x EX6410

 

My house is 4 bedroom/2 reception rooms over 3 floors - VM cable connection and AX73 router on top floor.

 

All walls are solid brick (no stud-partition walls) and the bricks are very dense (and very hard) Engineering Bricks.

 

If none of the above are suitable, can you suggest alternatives please?

 

If they are suitable - how do I designate a particular device as being part of the Mesh Network?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Zaph

@Zaphod_B none of the mentioned models are OneMesh compatible, the RE200 still is, but a more current version RE200V4 onwards... it has very good models... for example, RE450V4, RE650V2, and also all new repeater models in the AX line. from Tp-Link, all of them will be equipped with OneMesh

@Zaphod_B 

Thank you for being interested in TP-Link OneMesh products. 

I recommend considering range extender/ powerline unit with similar Wireless spec as main router if possible from available OneMesh products here:
Please check the Compatibility list of OneMesh™.

 

For range extender, you may  consider RE605X with maximum Wireless Link speed to 574 Mbps at 2.4GHz, 1201 Mbps at 5GHz (WiFi 6)

OneMesh is not compatible with Netgear Mesh, please check  Q4. Can the OneMesh™ products or Deco build a Mesh network with other brand products?

Several questions about the OneMesh™ and Mesh
