Thanks for your advice.

 

The reason I was considering the wifi router replacement was I thought the wifi router, being a AC router would be the bottleneck of the network speed. Wifi 6 (AX) was meant to be at least 1.5 faster than AC plus other features.

 

Now I am re-considering the Mesh systems 

 

Regards

AX is faster if you have AX devices. 

How many devices do you have? it can help with speeds if you have a lot of devices broadcasting at the same time

    About 10 devices connected simultaneously. Most of them do not support AX yet.
