Why is Archer BE550 so much better than the Dream Router 7 here?

If you want really fast speed tests go with the BE550. If you want a fully featured networking device go with Unifi.

How do WiFi extenders work?

They do work but it is not quite plug it in and forget it like people expect. I tried a couple random extenders first and they technically connected but performance was messy with drops and slowdowns. I ended up using the TP Link BE550 Mesh system and it was a lot more predictable. You still need to

Megvalósítható ez a wifi mesh rendszer a lakásban?

Ne a Deco-t vedd, hanem easymesh kompatibilis cuccot. Nekem pl lent volt egy BE550, fent pedig egy be230, és LAN volt a bachhaul. tökéletesen működött a váltás észrevétlenül, és ha LAN-on megy a backhaul akkor sokkal jobb wifi sebességeid lesznek. easymesh egyébként wifi szabvány, szóval gyártófügge

10Gb Router for Home?

You can get a Unifi Cloud Gateway Fiber which has 2 SFP 10Gb ports, 1 Rj45 10gbps port and 4 2.5 gbps ports. You can use the BE550 in AP mode. If you are near a microcentre they offer the UCG fiber for 20$ off rn and you can save on shipping.

Meshing together Deco units and Archer router

You can't mesh them together, as they're not compatible. Even if you give the WiFi networks the same name, these will still be two different WiFi networks, and you won't be able to seamlessly roam between them. There is no actual reason to keep your BE550 as one of the Decos can be your main router.

Indicação de roteadores, o roteador atual tem bufferbloat

Antes de trocar, testa outra fonte no seu C5 atual, porque o chipset dele não é tão ruim, mas o VRM é simplório demais, se a fonte tiver ripple isso passa fácil pelo VRM ruim dele e vai pro chipset (E ripple sempre gera erro de processamento). Porque o chipset dele (QCA9558) também tá nuns Mikrotik

Which router should I buy? Or any better suggestions

Same, it’s listed as BE9300 (Archer BE550) on Amazon. It works great for me, zero issues in having it for a year. Plenty of options to customize and signal strength is great. I already had a WiFi 6 TP-Link router and I upgraded my main unit and kept the old one to use in the garage as a mesh WiFi no

Aging router upgrade advice

If you are happy with your single all-in-one, there's no need to go with a mesh system. There's nothing "better" about it, it's usefulness is extending wifi coverage when you can't or won't wire an access point. Here are some suggestions within your budget.
