Today's prices
TP-Link Archer AX55 (price being collected) is today's cheapest Wi-Fi 6 router in Routers and networking; TP-Link Deco X50 (3-pack) (price being collected) is a three-unit mesh for a whole house.
Totals include shipping; most shops ship network gear free above 1,000 CZK.
When which
A flat up to 90 m² on one floor: one router. A two-storey house, a garden, thick walls: mesh; one strong router will not help.
Wi-Fi 7 pays off only with last year's laptops and phones; for TV and work Wi-Fi 6 is enough.
Advice
Check that the router matches your line speed (1 Gb/s port). Cables and mounts are accessories and stay out of the comparison.
Keep the operator's router as a modem and put your own behind it; usually cheaper than renting.
