Opinions on Cudy mesh solutions? (alien.top)

I'm looking to buy a 3pack Cudy M3000 AX3000 wifi 6 mesh system. It's appealing but I can't find any reviews about it. Tp link deco x50 is my other option but a 3 pack is significantly more expensive.

Any opinions on Cudy?

Chinese company, little info about them out there. Website is very generic with little info about who they are. Like you saw, there are very few reviews and even those are just promo types without any real data. Amazon reviews are lousy. I would avoid it. There's a reason the larger brands cost more - they have actual support and engineering in place. I'd opt for reliability over price.

Well I was looking around on the web and mesh might not be the best solution. My problem is that I have a wifi 6 router from my isp in the end of my L shape home. I had a Strong mesh router Right beside that and another one at the other side of that L shape where my TV is. This worked fine but started dying lately and the network barely reached the middle part of the L shape home.

Can you help me with the best solution for this?

I have fiber internet, 1gbit from my isp. The isp provided router wasn't used as a wifi network, only the 2 mesh nodes were used for wifi.

When placing the remote mesh point, you don't want it at the far point where you need the wifi, you want it closer to the base mesh so that it gets a good signal from the base and also so the item that needs wifi gets a good signal from the mesh point. The way you describe it makes me wonder if some placement change could help.

Unless you're willing to run ethernet - which would be the optimum choice - you might consider a better mesh system. If so, I would do another post on the sub, and title it "looking for replacement mesh for [your mesh model]".
