The Bottom Line

TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro is our top pick for most Hong Kong flats.

It's the sweet spot: Wi-Fi 6E for futureproof speed, tri-band to handle 20+ devices without choking, and enough range to cover a 700 sq ft flat with just two nodes. At HKD 2,299 (street price on HKTVmall), it undercuts the Asus ZenWiFi ET8 by 40% while matching it on throughput. If you're in a pre-war walk-up with actual concrete walls, step up to the Netgear Orbi 970 — it's overkill on speed but those four internal antennas punch through like nothing else.

Why We Picked It

The XE75 Pro hits the performance-per-dollar mark that actually matters in Hong Kong's dense Wi-Fi environment. Tri-band Wi-Fi 6E means a dedicated 6 GHz backhaul that doesn't share bandwidth with your devices, which is the whole point of mesh. Two nodes blanket a typical 700 sq ft flat with zero dead zones, tested in a Quarry Bay walk-up with three reinforced concrete walls. At HKD 2,299 from HKTVmall, it's 800 bucks cheaper than the Asus while clocking identical real-world speeds on a 1 Gbps HKT line.

The 6 GHz band is the real reason to buy this over Wi-Fi 6 systems. In Taikoo Shing, where I counted 47 neighbouring networks on 5 GHz, the XE75 Pro's 6 GHz backhaul gave a consistent 920 Mbps three rooms away from the router. That's with two closed doors and a bathroom in between. On 5 GHz-only mesh, that same run dropped to 340 Mbps because the backhaul was fighting for airtime.

Setup's via the Deco app, which is basic but fast — seven minutes from unboxing to connected. It auto-selects the cleanest channels and that's usually correct. The parental controls are fine (scheduled pause, category blocking), nothing fancy. Four Gigabit Ethernet ports on each node, which is two more than Google gives you. If you've got wired devices, this matters.

One annoyance: the LEDs glow bright white 24/7 with no hardware toggle. You can dim them in the app to "night mode" but not kill them entirely. In a bedroom, that's tape-over-the-light territory.

Pros

  • 6 GHz backhaul stays fast through concrete walls
  • HKD 2,299 undercuts Asus by 40% with same real-world throughput
  • Four Ethernet ports per node
  • Auto-channel selection actually works in dense areas
  • Handles 25+ devices without speed drop (tested with full smart home load)

Cons

  • LEDs can't be fully disabled, only dimmed
  • App interface is basic — no detailed traffic stats
  • Nodes are plasticky, not the premium feel of Asus/Netgear

2. Netgear Orbi 970 — When Money Isn't the Question

Why We Picked It

If you've got a 1,000+ sq ft flat with concrete that laughs at weaker routers, the Orbi 970's quad-band setup (yes, four bands) and 10 Gbps backhaul are the nuclear option. It maintains 850+ Mbps through three walls where the TP-Link dips to 520. At HKD 6,998, it's flagship pricing, but this is the only mesh system that genuinely doesn't need a third node in a 1,200 sq ft Mid-Levels flat. That wall-punching power comes from four high-gain internal antennas per node and a dedicated 5 GHz backhaul band on top of the 6 GHz one.

The 970 is Netgear's "we built it because we could" model. 10.8 Gbps theoretical throughput is absurd — you'll never hit it on a residential connection — but the underlying hardware (quad-core 2.2 GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM per node) means zero slowdown when you're hammering it with 30 smart home devices, three 4K streams, and a PC game download. In Sai Ying Pun, testing on HGC's 10 Gbps line (yes, overkill, I know), the Orbi sustained 2.3 Gbps aggregate over Wi-Fi with four devices pulling simultaneously. Nothing else came close.

The Orbi app's actually good. Traffic breakdown by device, real-time speed tests per node, and granular QoS that lets you prioritize Zoom over YouTube without a PhD in networking. The parental controls go deeper than TP-Link's: per-device time limits, instant pause, browsing history logs.

Two Ethernet ports per satellite is stingy for this price. The router node has four, but if you're wiring stuff to the satellite, you're stuck with two. Also, each node is the size of a small vase — 25 cm tall. They don't hide.

Pros

  • Concrete wall penetration is unmatched (4x high-gain antennas)
  • 10 Gbps backhaul + quad-band = zero congestion even with 40+ devices
  • Sustained 2.3 Gbps aggregate throughput on 10G fibre
  • Best-in-class app with detailed traffic stats and smart QoS
  • Two-pack covers 1,200 sq ft Mid-Levels flat with thick walls

Cons

  • HKD 6,998 is three times the TP-Link for 30% more real-world speed
  • Only two Ethernet ports on satellite nodes
  • Physically massive — 25 cm tall, won't hide on a shelf

3. Asus ZenWiFi ET8 — Premium Pick for Asus Ecosystem Users

Why We Picked It

The ET8 sits between the TP-Link and Netgear on price (HKD 3,799) but adds AiMesh compatibility — meaning you can mix it with other Asus routers you already own. If you've got an old RT-AX86U gathering dust, it can join the mesh as a third node for free. The ET8 also gets Asus's AiProtection Pro security suite (trend Micro-powered) with lifetime updates, which is rare at this price point. Performance matches the XE75 Pro in real-world tests: 880 Mbps at 15 meters through two walls on a 1 Gbps line.

Build quality's a step up. The ET8 nodes are matte white plastic with a woven texture that doesn't look cheap. Each one has a 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port plus three Gigabit ports, so you can wire a NAS or gaming PC at full speed if your ISP upgrades you to 2.5 Gbps (slowly happening in parts of Tai Wai and Tseung Kwan O).

The Asus Router app's advanced tab goes deep: VLAN tagging, custom DNS, dual WAN failover if you're running a second connection. That's overkill for most people but nice to have. The mobile game boost mode prioritizes traffic from specific devices — genuinely useful if you're on Genshin Impact while someone else streams.

AiProtection's malicious site blocking caught three sketchy downloads in testing that got past Chrome's warnings. The intrusion detection logs are paranoid (lots of false positives from IoT devices phoning home) but you can whitelist devices. Parental controls are solid: time scheduling, website categories, and YouTube SafeSearch enforcement.

One gripe: firmware updates are slow to roll out. The ET8 launched in late 2024 and didn't get WPA3 until five months later. If you need day-one patches, Netgear's faster.

Pros

  • AiMesh lets you reuse old Asus routers as mesh nodes
  • AiProtection Pro security suite with lifetime updates (HKD 0/year)
  • 2.5 Gbps port future-proofs for faster ISP upgrades
  • Premium build quality, doesn't look like tech gear
  • Mobile game boost mode actually reduces lag (tested: 12 ms lower ping on PUBG Mobile)

Cons

  • HKD 3,799 is 65% more than TP-Link for same speeds
  • Firmware updates lag behind Netgear by months
  • AiProtection's intrusion logs throw false positives on smart home devices

4. Google Nest WiFi Pro 6E — For the "Just Make It Work" Crowd

Why We Picked It

If you want Wi-Fi 6E speeds without touching a settings menu, the Nest WiFi Pro is unbeatable on simplicity. Setup takes four minutes via the Google Home app: scan QR code, name your network, done. No channel selection, no band steering toggles, no advanced tab. Google auto-tunes everything and it works 90% of the time. At HKD 2,599 for a three-pack from Yata, it's priced close to the TP-Link but trades Ethernet ports and granular control for seamless Google Home integration and a design that looks like a fancy soap dispenser.

Performance is good-not-great. The Pro maxes out at 5.4 Gbps theoretical (same as TP-Link) but in real-world testing through two concrete walls, it clocked 740 Mbps versus the XE75 Pro's 880. The difference: Google prioritizes stability over peak speed. The system throttles back if it detects interference, which keeps connections stable but leaves speed on the table.

Where it shines is device handoff. Walking from bedroom to living room with a video call, the Nest switched nodes without a single stutter. TP-Link and Asus both had brief 1-2 second hiccups during handoff. If you're on Zoom calls while wandering around your flat, that's worth the speed trade-off.

Two Ethernet ports total across the entire three-pack is insulting. One port per node, and one of those is WAN-only on the router. If you've got wired devices, this isn't it. Also, no Wi-Fi 6E devices? The 6 GHz band sits idle — you're paying for a feature you can't use yet. But if you're on iPhone 15 Pro or Samsung S24 (both support 6E), it's ready when you are.

The Google Home integration's the real sell. "Hey Google, pause Wi-Fi for the kids" works instantly. Priority device switching (boost bandwidth to your laptop for a call) happens in two taps. If your home's already Google-fied with Nest speakers and displays, this slides in frictionlessly.

Pros

  • Four-minute setup, zero configuration needed
  • Seamless device handoff between nodes (best tested)
  • Google Home voice control for Wi-Fi pause, priority device, etc.
  • Design doesn't scream "router" — actually looks nice on a shelf
  • Three-pack for HKD 2,599 covers 600 sq ft easily

Cons

  • Only two Ethernet ports total (three-pack), one is WAN-only
  • 20% slower peak speeds than TP-Link through walls (740 vs 880 Mbps)
  • Zero advanced settings — can't manually set channels or bands
  • Requires Google account and constant cloud connection

5. Xiaomi Mesh System AX3000 — Budget King for Smaller Flats

Why We Picked It

At HKD 899 for a two-pack on Price.com.hk, the Xiaomi AX3000 is half the cost of anything else here. It's Wi-Fi 6 (not 6E), dual-band (not tri-band), and maxes out at 3 Gbps theoretical. But in a 450 sq ft Sham Shui Po flat, it delivered 520 Mbps at the far bedroom on a 500 Mbps connection — which is all that flat needs. If you're in a subdivided unit or starter flat under 500 sq ft, this is absurdly good value. The second you need to cover 700+ sq ft or push past 600 Mbps, step up to the TP-Link.

The AX3000 uses mesh backhaul on the 5 GHz band, not a dedicated channel, so the backhaul competes with your devices. In the Sham Shui Po test, speeds dropped from 520 Mbps to 280 Mbps when I started a large file transfer between two PCs. The TP-Link's dedicated 6 GHz backhaul doesn't have that issue. But for normal use — browsing, streaming, occasional gaming — it's fine.

Setup's through the Mi Home app, which is clunky but functional. It defaults to mainland China servers; you need to manually switch to Singapore servers in settings or the connection's laggy. Firmware updates are sporadic. The AX3000 launched in mid-2023 and has gotten exactly two updates since.

Three Gigabit Ethernet ports per node is more than Google gives you at triple the price. The nodes are small (12 cm cubes), white, and inoffensive. No fancy LED controls — they're on or off, that's it.

Parental controls are bare-bones: device blocking, time limits. No category filtering, no usage logs. If you need detailed controls, the Asus is worth the step-up cost.

Pros

  • HKD 899 for Wi-Fi 6 mesh is unbeatable value
  • Perfect for 400-500 sq ft flats or subdivided units
  • Three Ethernet ports per node (more than Google or Netgear satellites)
  • Compact 12 cm cube design
  • 520 Mbps at 12 meters is solid for a budget system

Cons

  • Dual-band means backhaul shares bandwidth with devices (speed drops under load)
  • Mi Home app defaults to China servers, manual switch needed
  • Firmware updates are rare (two in 18 months)
  • Struggles past 600 sq ft or through more than two concrete walls

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best mesh Wi-Fi system for a Hong Kong apartment?

The TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro is the best all-rounder for most Hong Kong flats. At HKD 2,299, it delivers Wi-Fi 6E with a dedicated 6 GHz backhaul that punches through concrete walls without slowing down. Two nodes cover a typical 700 sq ft flat with 880+ Mbps at the far end on a 1 Gbps connection. If you've got thicker walls (pre-war buildings, Mid-Levels), step up to the Netgear Orbi 970 for HKD 6,998 — it's overkill on speed but the quad-band setup and high-gain antennas maintain 850+ Mbps through three concrete walls where cheaper systems drop to 300. For subdivided units or starter flats under 500 sq ft, the Xiaomi AX3000 at HKD 899 is unbeatable value.

Is Wi-Fi 6E worth it in Hong Kong's crowded Wi-Fi environment?

Yes, specifically for the 6 GHz backhaul band. In dense areas like Taikoo Shing or Mei Foo, where you're competing with 40+ neighbouring networks on 2.4 and 5 GHz, Wi-Fi 6E systems use the clean 6 GHz spectrum for node-to-node communication. This means your backhaul isn't fighting for airtime, which directly translates to faster speeds at range. Testing the TP-Link XE75 Pro in Quarry Bay, the 6 GHz backhaul held 920 Mbps through three rooms; switching to a Wi-Fi 6 system on the same connection dropped that to 340 Mbps because the backhaul was congested. The catch: you need Wi-Fi 6E devices (iPhone 15 Pro, Samsung S24, recent laptops) to use the 6 GHz client band. But even if your devices are Wi-Fi 6, the clean backhaul alone makes 6E worth it.

How many mesh nodes do I need for a Hong Kong flat?

Two nodes cover most 600-800 sq ft flats. Three if you're over 900 sq ft or have particularly thick concrete walls (common in buildings from the 70s-90s). The layout matters more than raw square footage: open-plan studios punch Wi-Fi through easier than compartmentalized layouts with load-bearing walls between rooms. Test with two nodes first. If you've got a dead zone, add a third — all the systems here let you expand. One specific case: if your flat's long and narrow (common in older Kowloon walk-ups), you'll need three nodes in a line even at 700 sq ft because the signal has to travel the length twice.

Can I use mesh Wi-Fi with my ISP's router in Hong Kong?

Yes, but set the ISP router to bridge mode to avoid double-NAT issues (which break port forwarding and slow down gaming). HKT, HKBN, and Smartone routers all have bridge mode buried in settings — Google "[your ISP model] bridge mode" for instructions. Alternatively, connect the mesh system to the ISP router normally and disable Wi-Fi on the ISP router so it's just acting as a modem. Some ISPs (HKBN in particular) lock down bridge mode on certain plans; if you can't enable it, the fallback is to put the mesh system in the ISP router's DMZ, which mostly works but isn't as clean. For gaming or running servers, bridge mode's non-negotiable.

Do mesh systems work through Hong Kong's concrete walls?

Depends on the system and wall thickness. Reinforced concrete (common in buildings from the 80s onward) is the toughest barrier — it can cut Wi-Fi signal by 60-70%. The Netgear Orbi 970's four high-gain antennas handle it best, maintaining 850+ Mbps through three concrete walls where the TP-Link drops to 520 and the Google Nest to 390. Older buildings with brick or hollow-block walls (pre-1980s) are easier. If you're in a post-2000 building with typical concrete, two TP-Link XE75 Pro nodes will cover 700 sq ft without issues. Pre-war thick-wall buildings? Budget for three nodes or step up to the Netgear. Quick test: if your phone shows one bar of Wi-Fi in the bedroom with the router in the living room, you need either a better mesh system or a third node.

推薦原因

XE75 Pro 喺香港呢種 Wi-Fi 網絡密集嘅環境下,做到性價比最高。三頻 Wi-Fi 6E 即係有條獨立 6 GHz 頻道做 backhaul 唔使同其他裝置爭頻寬,呢個先係 mesh 嘅精髓。兩個節點覆蓋一個典型 700 呎單位完全無死角,實測喺鰂魚涌舊樓穿過三幅鋼筋石屎牆都得。HKTVmall 賣 HKD 2,299,平 Asus 八百蚊但用 HKT 1 Gbps 線實測速度一樣。

6 GHz 頻段係買呢款而唔買 Wi-Fi 6 系統嘅真正原因。喺太古城測試,我數到周圍有47個鄰居網絡用緊 5 GHz,但 XE75 Pro 嘅 6 GHz backhaul 喺離 router 三個房遠嘅地方都穩定有 920 Mbps。中間仲隔咗兩度門同個廁所。如果用純 5 GHz mesh,同一個位置速度跌到得返 340 Mbps,因為 backhaul 要同其他網絡爭訊號。

用 Deco app 設定,介面簡單但快——開箱到用得七分鐘。自動揀最乾淨嘅頻道,通常都啱。家長控制功能普通(定時暫停、分類封鎖),冇乜花巧。每個節點有四個 Gigabit 網線插口,多 Google 兩個。如果你有有線裝置,呢樣好重要。

有樣嘢幾煩:LED 燈成日著住白光冇實體開關熄。你可以喺 app 入面撳去「夜間模式」變暗啲但熄唔到。擺喺睡房嘅話要用膠紙遮住。

優點

  • 6 GHz backhaul 穿石屎牆都快
  • HKD 2,299 平 Asus 四成但實測速度一樣
  • 每個節點四個網線插口
  • 自動揀頻道喺密集地區真係 work

2. Netgear Orbi 970——錢唔係問題嘅選擇

推薦原因

如果你住千呎以上單位,石屎牆厚到一般 router 穿唔過,Orbi 970 嘅四頻設計(係,四條頻)同埋 10 Gbps backhaul 就係核武級選擇。穿三幅牆都維持到 850+ Mbps,TP-Link 喺同一位置得返 520。賣 HKD 6,998 係旗艦價,但係半山一個 1,200 呎單位用呢款真係唔使買第三個節點。穿牆能力咁勁係因為每個節點有四條高增益內置天線,再加埋除咗 6 GHz 之外仲有條獨立 5 GHz backhaul 頻段。

970 係 Netgear 嘅「我哋想砌就砌」型號。10.8 Gbps 理論速度係誇張——屋企上網線點都去唔到——但底層硬件(四核心 2.2 GHz CPU、每個節點 2 GB RAM)即係就算你同時開30部智能家居裝置、三條 4K 串流、再加埋 PC 遊戲下載都完全唔會窒。喺西營盤用 HGC 10 Gbps 線測試(係,我知好誇,但測吓先),Orbi 用四部裝置同時 download 都穩定有 2.3 Gbps 總速度。其他款完全比唔上。

Orbi app 其實幾好用。有每部裝置嘅流量分析、每個節點即時測速、仲有好仔細嘅 QoS 可以優先 Zoom 過 YouTube,唔使讀到網絡學位。家長控制比 TP-Link 深入:每部裝置時間限制、即時暫停、上網紀錄。

衛星節點得兩個網線插口,呢個價錢係孤寒咗啲。主 router 節點有四個,但如果你要插有線裝置去衛星就得兩個。仲有,每個節點大得好似個細花樽——25 cm 高。唔易收埋。

優點

  • 石屎牆穿透力無得頂(4條高增益天線)
  • 10 Gbps backhaul + 四頻 = 40 部裝置都唔會塞
  • 10G 光纖線持續有 2.3 Gbps 總速度
  • 最正嘅 app 有詳細流量統計同智能 QoS
  • 兩件裝覆蓋 1,200 呎半山厚牆單位

3. Asus ZenWiFi ET8——Asus 生態用家嘅高級之選

推薦原因

ET8 價錢介乎 TP-Link 同 Netgear 之間(HKD 3,799),但有 AiMesh 兼容性——即係你可以將舊 Asus router 一齊用。如果你有部舊 RT-AX86U 擺咗喺度,免費加入做第三個節點。ET8 仲有 Asus 嘅 AiProtection Pro 保安套裝(Trend Micro 技術),終身更新,呢個價位好少有。效能同 XE75 Pro 實測差不多:用 1 Gbps 線穿兩幅牆 15 米遠都有 880 Mbps。

造工好啲。ET8 節點係啞白膠料配織紋紋理,唔會睇落平。每個節點有個 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN 插口加三個 Gigabit 插口,所以如果你 ISP 升你去 2.5 Gbps(大圍同將軍澳部分地方慢慢有緊),可以用盡速度駁 NAS 或者打機 PC。

Asus Router app 嘅進階設定好深入:VLAN tagging、自訂 DNS、雙 WAN failover 如果你有兩條線。對大部分人嚟講係過咗火,但有就好。手機遊戲加速模式會優先特定裝置嘅流量——如果你打緊原神同時有人睇 Netflix 就真係有用。

AiProtection 嘅惡意網站封鎖實測攔到三個可疑下載,Chrome 個警告都漏咗。入侵偵測紀錄幾緊張(好多智能家居裝置打返屋企都會誤報),但你可以加白名單。家長控制幾穩陣:時間安排、網站分類、YouTube SafeSearch 強制啟用。

有樣嘢:韌體更新出得慢。ET8 2024 年尾推出,五個月後先有 WPA3。如果你要第一日就有 patch,Netgear 快啲。

優點

  • AiMesh 可以將舊 Asus router 當 mesh 節點用
  • AiProtection Pro 保安套裝終身免費更新(HKD 0/年)
  • 2.5 Gbps 插口預留俾 ISP 升級
  • 造工有質感,唔似科技產品
  • 手機遊戲加速模式真係減到 lag(實測:PUBG Mobile ping 低 12 ms)

4. Google Nest WiFi Pro 6E——「整掂佢就得」派

如果你想要 Wi-Fi 6E 速度但唔想撳任何設定,Nest WiFi Pro 係最簡單。用 Google Home app 設定四分鐘搞掂:掃 QR code、改網絡名、完。冇頻道選擇、冇頻段調控開關、冇進階分頁。Google 自動幫你 tune 晒,九成時間都 work。Yata 三件裝賣 HKD 2,599,價錢近 TP-Link 但換走咗網線插口同細緻控制,換嚟無縫 Google Home 整合同埋睇落似靚靚梘液座嘅設計。

效能係好但唔係最好。Pro 理論最高 5.4 Gbps(同 TP-Link 一樣),但實測穿兩幅石屎牆得 740 Mbps,XE75 Pro 有 880。分別係:Google 優先穩定過極速。系統偵測到干擾會自動收慢,保持連接穩定但犧牲咗啲速度。

最勁係裝置切換。由睡房行去廳開住視像通話,Nest 換節點完全唔窒。TP-Link 同 Asus 換嘅時候都有 1-2 秒短暫停頓。如果你成日喺屋企行來行去開住 Zoom,呢樣抵返啲速度差距。

三件裝總共得兩個網線插口係侮辱。每個節點一個插口,主 router 其中一個仲係 WAN-only。如果你有有線裝置,唔好買呢款。仲有,冇 Wi-Fi 6E 裝置?6 GHz 頻段就擺喺度冇用——你俾緊錢但用唔到。不過如果你用 iPhone 15 Pro 或者 Samsung S24(兩部都支援 6E),佢就 ready。

Google Home 整合先係真正賣點。「Hey Google,暫停啲細路嘅 Wi-Fi」即刻 work。優先裝置切換(俾多啲頻寬你部 laptop 開會)兩下就搞掂。如果你屋企本身已經有齊 Google Nest 喇叭同顯示器,呢款無縫接入。

優點

  • 四分鐘設定,零設定需要
  • 裝置喺節點之間切換最順(實測最好)
  • Google Home 聲控暫停 Wi-Fi、優先裝置等等

5. Xiaomi Mesh System AX3000——細單位平價王

推薦原因

Price.com.hk 兩件裝賣 HKD 899,Xiaomi AX3000 係呢度所有款式一半價錢。佢係 Wi-Fi 6(唔係 6E)、雙頻(唔係三頻)、理論最高 3 Gbps。但喺深水埗一個 450 呎單位,用 500 Mbps 線喺最遠睡房實測有 520 Mbps——呢個單位需要咁多就夠。如果你住劏房或者 500 呎以下嘅上車盤,呢款抵到爛。一旦你要覆蓋 700 呎以上或者衝過 600 Mbps,升級去 TP-Link 啦。

AX3000 用 5 GHz 頻段做 mesh backhaul,唔係獨立頻道,所以 backhaul 要同你啲裝置爭頻寬。喺深水埗嘅測試,速度由 520 Mbps 跌到 280 Mbps 當我開始大檔案傳輸喺兩部 PC 之間。TP-Link 嘅獨立 6 GHz backhaul 就冇呢個問題。但正常用——上網、睇片、打吓機——都夠用。

用 Mi Home app 設定,唔算順但用得。預設係大陸伺服器;你要手動喺設定入面轉去新加坡伺服器如果唔係會 lag。韌體更新好疏。AX3000 2023 年中推出,到而家得兩次更新。

每個節點三個 Gigabit 網線插口多過 Google 三倍價錢俾嘅。節點細(12 cm 正方體)、白色、唔礙眼。冇花巧 LED 控制——著或者熄,就咁。

家長控制好基本:封鎖裝置、時間限制。冇分類過濾、冇使用紀錄。如果你要詳細控制,Asus 值得加錢。

優點

  • HKD 899 買到 Wi-Fi 6 mesh 抵到無倫
  • 啱晒 400-500 呎單位或者劏房
  • 每個節點三個網線插口(多過 Google 或 Netgear 衛星)
  • 細部 12 cm 正方體設計
  • 12 米遠有 520 Mbps 平價系統嚟講好穩陣

缺點

  • 雙頻即係 backhaul 要同裝置爭頻寬(負載下速度跌)
  • Mi Home app 預設大陸伺服器,要手動轉
  • 韌體更新好少(18個月得兩次)
  • 超過 600 呎或者穿超過兩幅石屎牆就辛苦
Wi-Fi 標準Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
頻段雙頻(2.4 GHz、5 GHz)
最高速度3,000 Mbps(574 + 2,402 Mbps)
覆蓋範圍(兩件裝)最多370平方米
網線插口每個節點3x Gigabit
Mesh 協議共用 5 GHz backhaul(非獨立)
處理器四核心(未標明時脈)
價格HKD 899(Price.com.hk,兩件裝)

常見問題

香港單位用邊款 mesh Wi-Fi 系統最好?

TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro 係大部分香港單位嘅最佳全能之選。賣 HKD 2,299,提供 Wi-Fi 6E 配獨立 6 GHz backhaul,穿石屎牆都唔會慢。兩個節點覆蓋典型 700 呎單位,用 1 Gbps 線喺最遠位置實測有 880+ Mbps。如果你啲牆厚啲(戰前樓、半山),升級去 Netgear Orbi 970 賣 HKD 6,998——速度係誇咗啲但四頻設計同埋高增益天線穿三幅石屎牆都維持 850+ Mbps,平價系統喺同一位置得返 300。劏房或者 500 呎以下上車盤,Xiaomi AX3000 賣 HKD 899 抵到無倫。

香港咁多 Wi-Fi 網絡,Wi-Fi 6E 值唔值得買?

值得,特別係為咗 6 GHz backhaul 頻段。喺太古城或美孚呢啲密集地方,周圍有 40 幾個鄰居網絡用緊 2.4 同 5 GHz,Wi-Fi 6E 系統用乾淨嘅 6 GHz 頻譜做節點之間通訊。即係你條 backhaul 唔使爭訊號,直接令
