The best mesh router I have ever owned. Worked flawlessly until I got super greedy and spent 2K on wiring the whole home and installing TP Link EAP-660HD AP (TP Link earned my trust via M9 Plus and I didn't even consider Unifi or Zyxel or anything else).

BTW, this is much faster than crappy Google mesh system, including the newest one (I used nest mesh for few months before getting M9 Plus). Two of my extended family are still using M9 Plus and it still work flawless for them.

You are expected to get around 550 to 600 Mbps on the main router (YMMV based on your wireless interference). If you wire the satellites they will also get you same sped. Otherwise speed will be based on wireless link speed. And M9 plus has tri band. So even wireless linking works flawlessly. I was pulling close to 400Mbps in my office and on very far end of the house I was pulling about 250Mbps.

I have a 3950 square foot house. I have a 4 pack of the gen 1 Google wifi. I have computers, TVs, kids tablets, smart switches and outlets and bulbs galore. There's nothing crappy about Google mesh. I do prefer it had remained in its own app instead of being smashed into the Home app. I did install the wiring myself to each one (modem->router->switch->satellite pucks). I've never had a speed issue or failure or any problems.

Also replaced Google Wifi 1st gen with these. Huge upgrade. These routers tend to get hot underneath so best to elevate them a bit with stick-on tabs or find another solution to let them breathe easier

Running this setup for about a year with wired backhaul and I have to say the outside range is disappointing. So much so that I am looking for alternatives before spring. Inside the house the speed is good and consistent but outside it's range isn't as good as others I have had. 3000 square feet plus a basement one on every floor.

what do you mean by outside?

I setup 6 (3 inside home) of these to cover 200 linear ft outside a clients home for arlo cameras and they work great.

if you have v1 and updated, that's your issue. look under 1 of the units and you will see the version number. I had many issue with v1 after latested up and returned to costco because tplink CS was horrible. I repurchased and got the v2 setup and they work much better.

This gave my 3000sq foot home perfect coverage in every corner (3 endpoints). No more dropped calls or buffering.

Dual band vs triband. This is better if you have fiber with a lot of devices.

I had these and they're great. I upgraded to the next model up because they're faster, but I have wired backhaul.

Great deal and I had 0 issues when I had them.

Count me in as a fan of this system. Bought it a year ago and haven't had any issues since then. I did have a few problems getting it set up and getting the individual units to link with one another but once everything was working it's been hands off. I don't miss the days of buying big routers with huge antennas to get extra range.

I switched from these to the X60. X60 is only dual band, but faster. I wired each one and they're great.
X60 if wired, this set of not

I don't think you can go wrong with either set.

Great mesh wifi system. I ended up returning to Costco after about a year. Moved to a house which is tall and not wide, and it didn't do a great job covering. Also of note, if you use Wyze cameras heavily, this is one of the few routers known to not work very well with them, so I'd steer away if that's the case.

My house is only 3000sqft. Would a 2pack of the x6 be a better deal?

https://www.walmart.com/ip/TP-Lin...lsrc=aw.ds

currently using the a single archer c4000 and coverage is ok in the house but speeds drop by half every 15ft away from the router. I only have 100mbps spectrum internet so losing speed is really annoying.

I have these for myself and my inlaws, they're great.
However, the whole point of a mesh is easily adding nodes, and apparently these are not findable as single pucks. I need one to extend the inlaws' for their outdoor cameras.

Anyone know the best way to get a single puck of the M9?

I have these and have been satisfied with their performance using wired backhaul.

They seem to run hot though, so I put a USB powered fan blowing up on all of them plugged into the devices USB port.

Just got this for $225 with coupon - is the TP-Link better than this offer?

Our shop had a mix of TP-Link AC1750's, too (2x C9 and 1x C9.) We contacted their customer service, often, with issues involving dropped connections and weak signals - often (temporarily) fixed with downgrading firmware or unit replacements. The day the warranty expired their customer service was more than happy to let us know and discontinue all communications. We've switched to ASUS, which has it's own problems, but nothing near as troublesome as TP-Link.
Their technical support actually don't know the technology. They always ask a lot of questions and try to find excuses from the answer then deceive customer, which makes me very mad. Will never buy products from them anymore
