50Mbps line, ethernet is at 50 but WiFi ( assisted with TP Link access point and TP Link Extender ) is a maximum of 25, with frequent drops.

Currently there is a sale at a local store for 50$ each

Zyxel M1 WSM20, AX1800, WiFi 6, Dual Kit
Xiaomi AX3000, WiFi 6, Dual Kit
Deco X10, WiFi 6, Dual Kit

Any opinions on the 3?

Thanks!

I’ve had fine reliability with the Deco X10. Cannot speak to the others.

I have x20's seems that the 2.4 ghz band is cutback on the x10's my x20's are hard wired so I can't say how they work as a mesh.

As you are using wireless backhaul I feel like the ax 3000 devices would be most useful but you also only have a plan speend of 50mbps. So evey oprion should saturate it if placed properly.

The only thing holding me back is that the Xiaomi AX3000 model is literally 2.5 years old The X10s though are 5-months-old and it could be possible that I connect both of them to etherner ( 1 through powerline, 1 directly on modem/router)
