Model: Archer AX12  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hello, 

 

I want to purchase three AX12 routers, one of which will be the main router and the others as access points. However, I am afraid they don't have any mesh features. 

 

I will be connecting all the APs via wired to ensure smooth and stable internet. So, that's why wanting the mesh feature.

 

The locations are as follows:

1. Main router - 2nd floor in a bedroom

2. 1st AP - 2nd bedroom on 2nd floor

3. 2nd AP - 1st floor living room

 

Also, I will be purchasing this router in India.

 

Please feel free to mention any other models near this range as well where it has updates for the future as well for a few years.

 

Thank you

Thanks for posting question here~

If you want a mesh network for your house, it is more suggested to consider Deco products. You may post question on our Deco community if you want to know more about Deco mesh network.

Tp-Link has many models to choose from.  Personally, I would spend just a little more and buy the AX55 model (Version 1 if possible).  The AX55 routers are very popular and firmware updates have been fairly regular.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am not sure whether the model you have me mentioned is sold in my country. (INDIA)

 

Also, I am so confused about the firmware updates because the router I have with me right now is Archer C6 v 2.0. Its EU when I purchased in 2019.

 

But now I don't know whether I will be getting US or EU version when purchased and this makes what firmware I should download. 

 

Is it from Global TP Link website or India TP link website or US TP Link website.?

 

Along with that I also do not know what version of the router I will be getting as its not labeled on the box right?

 

This is the India site https://www.tp-link.com/in/home-networking/wifi-router/?filterby=5730

 

I am looking in range of 1500 to 1800 on router models.

 

As I will be purchasing 3 it would be out of budget where I am looking to have two access points (connected via wired/LAN) and one main router.
