ASUS ZENWIFI XT8 AX6600 Wifi 6 Tri-Band Whole-Home Mesh Routers Black Colour ...

Best WiFi6 with Mesh!
I installed XT8 to cover deadspots in my home. I was a bit skeptical at first but after seeing and reading a few reviews I thought I'd give it a go. And I love the fact that it took me just 2 mins to get router and node up and running.
The LAN backhaul is just fantastic.... it gives XT8 the edge in really extending the WiFi range!!!! With each device having 3 gb ports, it's another game changer because I do have older devices that don't support wifi 6, and having extra LAN ports within reach is just amazing.
The mesh just works seamlessly. I love it. No more deadspots!
It is a true WiFi6, because whether I am connected to the main router or the node, I get the same bandwidth! Am just enjoying it!
Design wise, I like it, but my wofe loves it more. Because no visible antennas and the sleek design, she is fine to have it placed where visible!
The only drawback that I,'ve experienced so far is when activating openvpn. It works seamlessly when I turn on my VPN. But when I deactivate the vpn, my internet doesn't work and I have to reboot the device. It takes 1 min to reboot..... a hassle but the benefits outweighs this issue. I can manage...
All in all, I am very happy with this purchase!
TP-Link RE505X AX1500 Wi-Fi Range Extender

Small but terrible (in a positive way)!
App has the facility to notify me that I placed it very far from the router. It helped me place it where it could work great! It has the onemesh feature, however, found out that my router is not capable of onemesh (Archer AX50).
My connection is only 100Mbps, and it's been consistent on the extender even on the wifi dead spots of my router.
