Looks like the powerline rage was bumped from 1200 to 1300 Mbps. The one at the end of the model TL-WPA8631P could also indicate a change in the outside casing, but that looks to be the same. As far as everything else, it is the same.

The main difference seems to be that 8631P is advertised to have OneMesh capability, would this make a big difference to WiFi quality/speed when compared to the One Touch WiFi Configuration only (No OneMesh) of the 8630P?

Using One Touch copies the same SSID as the host router.  While its the same it is still two seperate APs generating one SSID.  With OneMesh it is a seemless broadcast of the SSID, which should improve overall connectivity and coverage and minimize drops in service.  We cannot say if speed will be improved as there are too many factors that would come into play for that.

Do i need a TP-link router to use this onemesh feature or can i benefit from this with an ASUS RT-AC66U B1 router?

Hi Anders, 

 

Yes a compatible OneMesh TP-Link Router would be needed.  OneMesh is a mesh technology developed by TP-Link and exclusive to our products.
