Hi all,

 

I live in a 110 m2 flat and I'm looking to replace my older stand-alone router.

As my home is fairly small I don't really need a mesh.

However, as there seems to be a common understanding between all reputable manufacturers of network equipment, that stand-alone routers have to look absolute God-awful (basically designed to appeal to 14 year old gamers and/or people very fond of arachnids), I have no choice but to buy a single device from a mesh system.

The alternative would be to hide the router in a closet, but that ruins my coverage.

 

So, with Deco units looking nice enough to stand in the open, here comes my question:

If I use use an X95 stand-alone, will I be able to use all three WiFi bands, or is one 5 GHz band locked to always provide the wireless back-haul?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

/Andreas

If you plan to use X95 as a router, you should know that its parental controls are very easy to bypass. If you need parental controls feature, look for something other than TP-Link Deco brand. Otherwise, TP-Link Deco device is decent router with functionality that fits common household needs.
