Model: TL-WR940N  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have a 100 mbps fiber connection, my current setup is not providing good range and speed in my room which is about 30 feet and 2 walls away from my router. I m looking to upgrade to either archer a9 or archer c6 with re365. Please advice which setup would be better to get the ideal speed and range.

Hello, do you already have the RE365 or do you plan to buy it?

 

As for the detailed specifications, it is suggested to refer to the official website:

https://www.tp-link.com/en/compare/?typeId=9&productIds=29663%2C27873

 

Just a quick reference, Archer A9 is an AC1900 standard, the 5 GHz wireless link rate can be up to 1300 Mbps (802.11ac) and 2.4 GHz 600 Mbps (802.11n). Archer C6 is an AC1200 standard, its 5 GHz supports up to 867 Mbps (802.11ac) and 2.4 GHz 300 Mbps (802.11n).

 

While Archer C6 supports OneMesh feature, while A9 doesn't support it. Below are some detailed introduction about OneMesh:

You may choose a more suitable model based on your requirements. Good days.

@Kevin_Z 

 

Just to clarify. My current setup only includes the old 940n, I have to choose between the following 2 setups.

 

Setup 1. Archer a9

 

Setup 2. Archer c6 + re365

 

Further i have reviewed the official website and several reviews of both the set ups. However what i have been unable to find is the following

 

1. Theororatical max range of A9, without walls or wifi interference. (In perfect senario)

 

2. If I use the one mesh system how much % speed drop should I expect  (my understanding of ordinary extender is that if my router produces 100 mbps at the closest range,point A, and 50 mbps at half way point, point B, then adding a extender would only boost the 50 mbps recieved at point B towards my target point C, which will be around 25 mbps recieved, this is assuming the approx loss is 50% speed between point "A & B" and "B &C". correct me if my understanding of the ordinary extender is incorrect and please guide how does one mesh differ in this aspect.
