Mesh system with TP LINK AXE5400
Hello,
I have just invested in a TP LINK AXE5400 which will be hardwired back to my BT HUB2 from my office on the second floor to give me a secure connection.
Am considering adding one or two WiFi access points because my house has three floors and the coverage from the BT router is poor.
Could anyone recommend additional mesh devices or would I be just as well adding a couple of AXE5400 devices (which could be overkill)?
Thanks in advance
Mike

Hi, thanks for posting question on our community.
AXE5400 is not an exact model,so it is too hard to know what product it is, wireless router or Deco.
You may check the bottom label of the device, check the model and share here.
If you want a mesh system and you have three-floor house, I think Deco mesh system may be more suitable for you.
So if what you purchased is a wireless router and you choose Deco finally, you may consider to return the router asap, because they Onemesh, Easymesh, Deco mesh are three things. Please read this guide to know more about their differences.
BTW, if you want to ask more questions about Deco, it is suggested to share your posts in our Deco Section, there will be professional person to answer for you.

I should have mentioned it was an Archer AXE75 sorry.
On your advice and after doing some further research I have returned it and opted for a Deco XE75 system instead.
Thanks for your advice,

Hi l, I'm also bt customer,
I can say you don't need the BT router and just use your new axe5400 unless you use the voip service or your not on FTTP.
I have 3x ax72's in my property (also 3 floors) and if the axe5400 ( I'm guessing the archer/router) 2 would be more than enough in signal strength and quality ( all mine have the transmission power turned down to medium and i have lots of thick solid walls.
I only have the 3 ax72 routers as I have 1 down the bottom of my garden in my mancave,
My setup consists of 1x main and 2 in AP mode all connected via ethernet
All setup the same in the sence of logging into the router Web gui (admin password) main wifi ssid name+ passwords, guest wifi name+ password as well as the iot network.
I did this just to make things easier when it comes to remembering only one set of passwords plus helps with roaming and having devices on multiple floors pick the best/stongest signal.
