Pros and Cons of Using Archer AX55 or Deco Mesh AX55
I'm looking to replace my aging TP-LINK routers with new units. I currently have CenturyLink Fiber into an ONT box, which is connected to a CenturyLink WiFi Router. I have ethernet cables running to most rooms in the house (1929 vintage, 3 floors, plaster walls). I have 2 routers configured as AP units - one on each floor). My initial thought was to replace each of the AP and CL routers with the new Archer AX55 units (3) - also configured the same, 1 router and 2 AP units. The AP units are configured with the same SSIDs to allow roaming in the house. However, I like the idea of replacing the traditional units with a mesh system, thus looking at the Deco AX55 units with similar throughput. It seems that mesh systems provide better roaming. Another possibility is mixing the two - use the Archer AX55 as the router (with Mesh enabled) and the Deco AX55 in AP mode to provide full house coverage. With the ethernet cables, I can have each unit connected for the back-haul. Ignoring price differences, am I better off using the Archer units or the Deco units or a mix? Is the range of an Archer AX55 better than the Deco AX55? Are there features that I lose or gain with each system? Thanks for any suggestions.
