The AX5700 on the other hand is triband so dont have to worry about wired backhaul at all unless you really want and its primarily for those people who over wireless want their full 1Gbps connection.
Yep they are almost completely identical accept for the radios and with current tests they perform almost identically to each other.
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.
