Which router for our use case

posted 10 months ago

Costco has a sale until 12/10. Requirements: 2500 sqft 2 floor house, 4 household members. 1 smart TV, a couple of cellphones and iPads, 4-6 cameras, and work from home.

Which router should I get:

TP-Link Deco X60 Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi System, 3-Pack. ($169)
TP-Link Deco AX5000 Mesh Wi-Fi, 3-pack ($199)
TP-Link Deco AXE5300 Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi System, 3-Pack ($269)

Although, we would like parental control features (so I welcome any other suggestions where we don’t have to pay a monthly fees).

You’ll get a much better result if you use a wired backhaul and then you don’t need any of those mesh systems. You could then use standard AP’s.
