Hi I have a Virgin router 3 with 125 gig speed package, there are a couple of areas in my house were the WiFi signal is weak at times & drops out, I am thinking of trying to improve this by adding a TP-Link Deco X50 AX3000. Is there anyone who has done something similar & if so has it been successful. I know Virgin can supply Disc's at £8 each but as I will need two Disc's a mesh system would work out a lot cheaper. Thanks for any information on this.

Regards Normski47.

There are many users here who use a Mesh system with great success.  You can either use Router mode (Hub in modem mode) or Access Points (Hub as Router). Personally I’d recommend using the Hub in modem mode and let the Mesh do everything.
