Model: Deco X60  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello,

 

I am interested which technology/products to build a WiFi network for a relatively large home residence (~4000 sqft) with garden (~30000 sqft).

Current solution will be replaced (only modem from ISP will remain).

Target is to have 1 SSID for the whole area.

There are ~10..20 static devices and ~10..20 mobile/WiFi devices that shall be served during moving on the property.

WiFi range matters, garden has large distances from the nearest AP (100+ ft).The larger range the better.

 

The idea1 (Mesh) is to go with 3 pieces of Deco XC60, 1 placed at modem as a main router indoor, 1 satellite connected with ethernet to the main router at the back of the house indoor and 1 satellite placed outdoor connected to the 1st satellite (~30..40ft).

The idea2 (WiFi routers as APs) is to go with 3 pieces of Archer AX73, broadcasting the same SSID. The placement of them is the same as in idea1. The garden access point would operate as a WiFi bridge device. Range seems better with this device, then XC60.

 

Any other solutions/ideas are welcome.

 

Thank you,

Gergely

Hi, the Deco X60 would be much better;

And since the Deco X60 is mainly used indoors, so in order to get good coverage in the Garden, you might need more Deco X60 units;

or You could have a look at our business Mesh access points, such as EAP225 and EAP225-outdoor;

And there is also a user guide to select suitable products based on your application scenario:

Thank you very much.

Hello @TP-Link ,

 

Thank you for the answer.

 

What is the exact reason the XC60 is so much better then strong access points without mesh?

Problem is with EAP is that it would handle a different mesh network, wouldn't it?
