Best Home Mesh Router

Best WiFi mesh router! Tried other brands but this is the best so far. Worth buying!

Home too big, lost wifi in gararge. The mesh router, fixed the wifi problem.

I own 2 of these routers, one is in my office and the other is at home. I use both with a Synology NAS (1819+ and 1621xs+). At home I also use a Synology mesh router to expand the reach of the wi-fi signal. The price is an excellent value, it represents not only the hardware (very solid) but also the software side. Synology software is incredible, once you get it up and running, the control software is truly wonderful...by that, I mean the software that runs like a desktop inside your web browser, not the DS Router App which is buggy and more limited (but still useful for monitoring the network from your smart phone). You can install VPN software that runs on the router itself (Synology VPN Plus) and remotely login to your wi-fi router and access files on the network as if you were physically there. Cool! The control software also runs diagnostics and tells you if you have poor cables, bad connections, interference, or other issues. You can assign individual users and control access, add parental controls, etc.. And it all works marvelously. By the way, the mesh works wonderfully, as a true mesh ought to do, it optimizes bandwidth to each device as necessary. You don't have to login to separate networks as you move around, Synology's control software does it for you, seamlessly and with no data interruption that I've seen.

This is a sleek router with a beautiful interface and overall great functionality. I researched quite a bit to find a router which would cover my home and minimize, hopefully get rid of dead spots. This is a solid solution if hard wiring access points in a home is not viable. While you mayhave a small impact on speed/latency, it is relatively unnoticeable. IF you are able to use hard wire connections, then Ubiquiti access points or other whole home wifi systems may be worth looking into. However, this provides such a simple, clear, and easy solution that hardwiring can be avoided. The system comes with 3 items - 1 router and 2 mesh points. Placing the router centered in the home, and a mesh point on each end allows for maximum coverage over a larger area. I can now get Wifi all over my front and back yard, to the neighbors next door and across the street. You can even add additional mesh points down the road if necessary, or even another Amplifi router. Highly recommendif you are searching for a whole home wifi solution. *Note you will need available outlets in a good location, to plug in the mesh points, as they stay plugged in the wall.

There's so much good to say about this Synology Router Kit and I have said it in other places. The greatest parts this system works in harmony and is a good solution for a big home or small business system. The software makes controlling user access and content restrictions really easy and it is powerful. But here is what would take this system to the next level: - Update to the latest Wi-FI 6 Standard (this is coming for the router with a new model later in 2022) - Make the Mesh parts able to work with POE (Power over Ethernet) so they don't require a separate power brick - Better mounting options for the Mesh part so it can easily be hung on a wall or from a ceiling None of these things are deal killers but they do factor in if you care about the overall implementation in the best way possible. To get that level of integration, you will need to look towards something like the Ubiquiti UniFi system but that system is overkill for most home and small business situations. As is, this mesh router working in conjunction with the RT 2600 AC is the best way to get close to a robust business level wi-fi application in a reasonable and affordable package.

I've gotten this router not only for home but also for the worksite where I work (church). This combined with a mesh system makes for one very powerful and functional wireless network for usage. It is costly but worth every penny compared to all the others out there. Buy or buy not. If you chose not, good luck on your wireless routing. If you choose yes, be prepared to have a very NICE wireless router. And yes, it even comes with all kinds of Unicorn Poop (LEDs) for those who love to have color options too.

We have a large, two story home and needed a mesh system for coverage. I had two older ASUS routers but needed an upgrade for the central router. The GT-AXE 16000 proved to be an outstanding main router and the ASUS software made it a breeze to set up the mesh system. My game room is as far away from the main router as possible, just because that is where the spare room is, and the combination gives me blazing speeds for streaming games.

I have always been a Netgear user but a friend suggested I assess this product, given my spec preferences. The phone app is good to make the initial setup. The Web interface is significantly better for those of us interested in security and technical detail. I found all that I needed in the Web interface. One amusing fact is that no "user manual" is available for this product, only a "quick start" manual. Yes, there is a YouTube channel, but none really dedicated to this product line. I find that inexcusable. For those of us with home networks that are Ethernet and wireless, the Ethernet backhaul seems to require a home run from the router to the mesh satellite rather than an Ethernet connection through a switch. I say that because the Web interface doesn't recognize that the mesh node is connected to the router via the mesh node's Wan port to the router's LAN port. Other than these comments, I am enjoying a multi-gig connection to my fiber provider's multi-gig service.

I just installed the ZenWiFi XT9 with 1 router and 1 extender. I has addressed all of the problems that I had with the 2 mesh "Whole Home" WiFi Mesh that my ISP provided, coverage and speed for devices connected to the second node.

I have the Amplifi Mesh for several years. The difference between the old router and mesh network is day and night. This is my second standalone extender on the original mesh network. Again, the difference is amazing!
