To me they look like an advanced version of the X60 so you get triband which will make wireless backhaul more stable but I have not seen speed tests to figure out speeds. I would guess they are between the 500-1gig range.
If you want more coverage and definitely sticking to a pure wireless setup they would be your best option cause of the third node and being triband.
If your more interested in getting over 1gig of speed on the wireless the X5700 is the clear choice right now.
I'm replacing a Fios router and believe only 1 will suffice, and I plan to sell the additional unit(s). I do not want the mesh setup/feature but want a triband Wi-Fi 6 router.
Wouldn't be simpler just to lease their router and extender for 25 a month. For a price one has to wait for a year to recoup and investment. In a year new better tech will show up.
Your thoughts.
I am on the fence

That said the AX3600 wont get you over 1Gbps speeds through wifi if thats what your trying to accomplish, if your not and just want a triband then it might be for you. Just need to verify if it indeed can be used as a standalone like the AX5700.

i'm using an old N router and need to upgrade, does this tplink mesh do:
customized dns adblock server
openvpn server to view home security camera's remotely?

$300 is a lot and can buy decent gear. FiOS is so simple if you are just talking internet connection - plug straight into a wireless router.
The difficulty is when you want to hook up FiOS cable. I'll say sidestep that and just use OTT streaming solutions.
Happy this deal is back a lot of people missed out last time.
I figured it would come back around, glad I didn't miss this time.

This router/mesh is for people who just want internet that works out of the box without any additional tinker or custom configurations so for 90% of the general internet using public.
If you want more advanced firmware you need their non Deco models or I would prefer the Asus routers as they have always been one of the most feature filled routers out there.
It appears to be app-only, which I've been trying to avoid.
Features:
Reach Incredible Speeds up to 5.7 Gbps (5700 Mbps) with WiFi 6 (802.11AX)
Two Wi-Fi 6 Routers cover up to 6,000 Sq Ft with Seamless Wi-Fi Coverage
2.5Gbps port on each Router allow you to take full advantage of internet plans up to 2.5 Gbps
Compatible with all WiFi-Enabled Devices and Works with all Internet Service Providers
Connect up to 200 Devices at Top Speed

Thanks for the positive review. I just set up the TP-Link AX5700 unit on first floor in kitchen-family room area, another in upstair office/bedroom. I have 400mbps internet service by Spectrum. My previous single router in the kitchen with extender device upstair only managed to give me about 80 to 120mbps wirelessly in the upstair office/bedroom. Many times even slower. But this TP-Link AX5700 gave me 200-250mbps wirelessly to my computer. Then I plugged in ethernet cat5e cable from one of the Gigaports of the AX5700 unit in office/bedroom directly into my computer. Now I get about 350mbps to my computer. I guess the "Smart Antennae" they feature actually works and I don't need to connect the two AX5700 units with Ethernet cable to create a wired backhauling connection to get the better bps speed. Happy, happy, happy. Thanks again for the encouraging post. I recommend this TP-Link AX5700 product at a good price too.
