Good price on a good solid dual band system which comes with limited real time protection and parental control, but unfortunately this is a router and 2 node setup, so you cant sell the unused node if you don't need all 3 and speeds will be drastically reduced at the nodes compared to the devices on the router. For anyone who has up to 500Mb internet this will work extremely well for, anyone over that you will see some



Yes it will work without a problem, the main router can take full advantage of your 500Mb fiber but the nodes will not they will be limited to anywhere between 200-300Mb to a single device but that should be plenty for most people. If you hardwire them all to each other it will increase the speeds on the nodes. If you leave them purely wireless expect the above speeds.

It's not about preserving speeds, it's that the tri band uses that other band to send the wireless signals to each other. Whereas with dual band, it doesn't have that free band and must use one of the 2 bands to send each other that information.

Your optimal setup is:

A - if you can connect units to each other via wires, dual band is totally fine and great (especially due to price point)

B - if you need the satellite units to connect wirelessly (because you cant connect them to each other with a wire), then tri-band is your ideal system so they can dedicate the extra band to wirelessly transmit to each other

2000sqft split level home with 500Mb fiber - would this mesh setup work well?

From ASUS's website [asus.com], I see that the 3-Pack can cover 4800 Sq. Ft. and 5+ Rooms and the product title states "home coverage up to 4800 Sq. Ft."

Be aware, as a Dual-Band mesh system, if the nodes are wirelessly connected to each other it will cause degredation of client network speeds. (basically half speed).

If you are able to wire the nodes to each other you'll get full speeds.

Google Dual Band vs Tri Band Wireless Backhaul for more information

Its not a degradation, its a bandwidth limitation and it only matters for people who would be on 1gig fiber and expecting over 500Mb to devices. For most people who are on 300Mb plans they will see no impact, and for people on 500Mb they will see only minor impact at the nodes not the router.

In short only matters to people with 1 gig plans, and only really matters if you really want full speeds, if you just care for reliable coverage this will work great and for most devices even 200-300Mbps is more than plenty for anything and everything.

Super helpful. Didn't realize this when I bought the Deco X55s.

Do tri-band wireless systems do a better job preserving wireless speeds?

Just bought Tp link AX3000. I'm thinking of returning it and getting this. Is it better than tp-link ax3000?

Thanks. The dual band mesh unit, Deco X55 has performed poorly for me. Will look into a tri-band system next. Any recommendations?

Are these able to mesh with a different Asus router for even more coverage or does it not work that way? I got the expensive Asus router for 250 or so about 2 weeks ago and while it is slightly faster, it's not that much faster downstairs where I needed it. I'm not sure this would work better because the nodes downstairs would still be limited. For reference, 300mbps upstairs at router, only 60 downstairs or less.

Im using a tplink 11000 (i think) would it be better to buy a mesh system from tplink as well? or would this system work fine?

This is a tough question because of so many variables. Search online for "dongknows", he has a lot of good reviews and best lists that break down pros and cons.

Right now, I think the Asus XT12 are phenomenal for a wireless setup with triband. I like the Asus control suite as well. 2 units, but very powerful coverage wise. It also performs really well for 2.4ghz, which I have a ton of devices using too (security cams, lights, pet feeders, etc all still use 2.4ghz usually). But again, my personal opinion.

It's on the comments section for a deal. They're having a discussion and clarifying…nobody's fighting. If this was about sports and team based rivalry I'm sure you'd label that as just friendly conversation.
