Hello,
I habe been reading a LOT for the last fee days about routers and mesh systems.
Context:
Just move into a new house that is 1 floor 1000 square feet (95 m2) my ISP provided a 2015 Wifi 5 router (MitraStar GPT 2541GNAC) for 500/500mb speed.
I suspect its CPU to be a
Broadcom BCM68380 and radio Broadcom BCM43217TKMLG
My goal is to take advantage of my Internet plan upgrading to a Wifi 6 router and buy a TP-Link TX55E Wifi 6 pcie card for my PC which I used wired to ethernet in my old house (not possible here)
I also have a Lenovo Yoga 14s and Xiaomi Redmi K40, both Wifi 6 capable.
I also would like to stream Moonlight gaming into Fire Stick 4k in a contiguous room.
Initially I was about to get a 2 nodes Wifi 6 TP Link DECO X60 v3.2 AX5400 mesh to connect my PC using ethernet, but It seemed overkill since the house is not that big, then I thought that maybe a decent Wifi 6 router would do and I came across the older AX58u/AX3000 and AX82u
They used BCM43684 which seems to be fairly good in terms of range but they also used the slower BCM6750 1.5 Ghz tri-core CPU...
Nowadays I can find V2 of these devices at Amazon for 110€/150€ the V2 change is that they now use a SoC BCM 6756 which seems to be worst at 5 GHz range...
With current ISP router I amb getting 500/500 mb next to the router and 100/100 mb at the furthest point in my house, I am afraid that any of these routers will provide worse range since they do not have dedicated 5GHz chip
Questions:
Are TUF AX3000 V2, AX58U V2 and AX82U exactly the same or do they have some antenna improvements?
Will I get better connectivity with DECO X50 / X60 3.2 mesh system using 2 nodes?
Any other recommendation I can get for about 150€?
I do not need USB nor advanced features, I just want a superior Wifi 6 stable system for a few devices and streaming
Thank you!
