Really depends on what you already have, but this would be a massive upgrade for many people. 3 node
dual Band WiFi 6 mesh system will knock the socks off a lot of what used to be best sellers on amazon, BB, Wally World, etc. So if you are coming from a $300 top of the line router, probably not your market anyway.

It's only dual-band. Great for a smaller home, but anything large and you'll want the dedicated back-haul. Buying this is like buying an electric car with a 30-mile range.
Incorrect, most people will never saturatue both bandwidths to bottle neck their speeds or connection with wifi 6. I dont know anyone who pushes over 1Gbps on multiple devices at all times to make a dual band system choke?

Quote from kpxskim21 View quoted comment :
M9 plus was $169.99 just last week at Costco. Although that one is not wifi6, but is triband. Been running solid so far.
Different gear for different cases.

Quote from getquik09 View quoted comment :
It might be better to pull the trigger on deco M9 which have tri band for $180 new at costco. Seems to perform better than this.
Thats cause the technology in the X60 is superior to the triband Deco M9+. While the Deco M9+ is a great system it cant compete with the X60 in performance and throughput.

Quote from Wildpir8 View quoted comment :
I really wanted to keep my M9 set from the last sale but it seemed that heat buildup on the bottom of the units might have been causing connection instability. Had them out in the open and away from any other sources of heat generation.

Think I've also seen that X60 top speeds do exceed those of the M9 even though it's dual band. But M9 speeds would have been more than enough for my internet plan/speed.
A M9+ with optimal client and close range can push about 550 Mbps while an X60 around 750-800 Mbps.

This push, is this pure wireless or wired backhaul?

I used M9 in the past and moved to X60 last year.
X60 speed improved and also the ping is lower than M9, so definitely an improvement for me.

X60 never had and issue such as disconnect or slowing down. Only internet issue from time to time came from the Xfinity service.

I strongly recommend it for this discounted price. Parental control is good too, easy to block Youtube from my kids gadgets and also I can instantly stop internet for those gadgets in a group.

This push???

It is designed for pure wireless just like every other mesh system, but it supports ethernet backhaul if you choose to use it.

Thank you and this is exactly what I am looking for. Is there a limitation on how many sites can be blocked?

So I am looking into getting wifi 6 router for my ~2500 sq ft house. I have about 50 devices as of now. Will probably be going up.

I was thinking about it but then read somewhere that it does not have a 160 mhz band. So I am not sure if I should get it or not. Any suggestions on a good router/mesh for me within this price range.

I have blocked 6 websites directly, but also based on the filter level (teen) that I set for my kids, it will further block many other sites that are not for them.


Tp link website says it can block up to 32.

It does have 160MHz band, but Tp-Link and professional reviewers say its very unlikely to ever see it in action cause their driver favors compatibility over speed, and there is no way to force usage fo 160MHz. Also there are very few clients that support 160MHz.

If the equipment is going to be in a centralized location you might not need a mesh, but a single router might be enough.

It will be almost centralized in location. Which single wifi 6 router would you recommend for good coverage and high number of devices?

I have the X60. Bought from Costco about 5-6 months ago.
About to return it due to constant restarting / WiFi drops.
Reset it numerous times, even to factory default....still drops.
Had the cable company bring a new modem....still drops.

Never had the issue with a Linksys EA9500.
I have the same thing. Got it about 5-6 months ago from Costco too. No problems at all. I even have the 2 extenders with wireless backhaul.

Maybe you just got a dud?

If its almost going to be centralized than yeah a single router solution is probably your best bet. I am an Asus fanboy so I will recommend the Asus option first. I prefer Asus cause of their very superior firmware and options.

https://www.newegg.com/asus-rt-ax...6833320457

Has everything you will need for a long time, minus a 2.5Gbps which is in its more expensive brother

https://www.newegg.com/asus-rt-ax...6833320454

(only go with this one if you for sure will be implementing a 2.5gbps network outside of that save the money and stick with the above one.)

The brand new TP-Link model that just came out is your other good option, with the number of antennas it has should cover 2000sq feet without an issue, unless you live in fort Knox.

https://www.newegg.com/tp-link-ar...6833704537

So the above options are premium high end routers but not top of the line. If you think you really dont need all that and your needs are slightly more modest, as in you want something more middle of the line. The AX3000 series type routers are your best bets and will cost you between $140-$180.

Asus option:

So pretty much the same price. Is there any harm in getting mesh in my situation. I prefer getting it from Costco due to the extra insurance 😉 that you get with costco.

Costco will carry almost all the ones I recommended on their website, newegg was just easier to navigate.

Yes there is a downside to mesh, some client devices dont work well with mesh and can be finicky. Mesh should only be implemented in situations where for a fact a single router will not cover the whole area. Everything from ring doorbells, to apple products, to a few samsung phones have all been known to have problems with mesh, on top of that older home smart gear need 2.4ghz and sometimes have problems connecting to a mesh network.
