I was looking for a Wi-Fi mesh system and came across this deal. Given its tri-band connectivity, good reviews and the price, might be a good option.

JB has it for $499 but you can get the price matched.

The D-Link AC2200 Seamless Wifi System is a convenient, easy to set up solution for enjoying fast wired/wireless network connectivity throughout your home for smooth gaming or streaming.

Key Features
Featuring tri-band connectivity, the D-Link AC2200 Seamless Wifi System lets you enjoy fast streaming, downloading, or browsing with wireless network speeds of up to 2200Mbps*. Its third separate band is dedicated for its 5GHz Smart Backhaul feature, providing reliable connectivity between Covr Points.
Powerful amplifiers and 6 internal antennas combine in the AC2200 Wifi system to deliver reliable wireless network connection for areas covering up to 560 sq.m in size.
With MU-MIMO technology, this seamless Wifi system provides uncompromised wireless network speeds to multiple connected devices simultaneously.
The AC2200 seamless system uses a single wireless network name (SSID), allowing you to stay connected to the network even when moving to different areas in your home.
The D-Link Covr Seamless Wi-Fi System can be configured with the free D-Link Wi-Fi app** on your mobile device or through an intuitive web-based interface, making it easy to set up.
For eliminating congestion in the connection, the D-Link AC2200’s Smart Steering feature automatically connects your connected devices to the optimal band.

  How is this compared to TP-Link Deco M5?
  Looks like a great price btw!

    This is comparable to the Deco M9. Both are AC2200, trip band with a dedicated 5ghz channel for wireless backhaul. M5 is only dual band AC1300.

      To add to that the Deco M9 is 4x4 MU-MIMO and the Deco M5 and COVR is 2x2 MU-MIMO.

      I like the Decos slim power supply that takes up 1 power point. I dislike the COVR bulky side ways mounted power supply that can take up the space of 2 power points.

    I would recommend google Nest, although it has got its own drawbacks, it is simple to set up, I am currently using a combination of Gen1 and Gen 2 nest routers with an HFC NBN on Gigabit connection. I get around 550 on wifi when connected on 5Ghz.

  How this would compare to the Gateway F@AST 5366 TN router? (which we currently use in conjunction with a plug-in Netgear 'powerline' extender.)
  We're just about to transfer from Optus Cable to superloop NBN, HFC (we have hideous internet/wifi, constant drop outs but it's a long house, walls and different levels) and unsure if we should buy a new router or utilise the old Gateway (which prior to that we had a TP-Link Archer C9 until it got fried during a storm - tbh, didn't see much difference between the 2 routers).
  Or is there a much better router to be had for around $300-400?

    This would be heaps better than your existing router & extender. This is a AC2200 mesh wifi with dedicated wireless backhaul channel. I have a similar system (Deco M9) and it has eliminated all the dead spots in my house and I can finally fully utilise the 150/75 broadband I have.

    If you have a big house or 2 story, then you may be better off getting a mesh router with 3 devices.

  Purchased. Thanks OP. I was looking to pick up the M5 system, but nabbing this for almost the same price is even better.

  Tempted but some mixed reviews on amazon for this system. Does anyone know if the deco m9 would be similar ir better (or even the deco m5 system for a single storey house). Telstra nbn 100mbs download plan

  I have three of these units. NOT recommended. Specs are good on paper for the price range when on special but they are not stable at all. I have to reboot every one of them on a weekly basis. Also the phone app is one of the worst I’ve ever used.

    Thanks for the feedback. In case you have some time at hand, Can you please reply to a few questions:
    Do you have AC2200 or the dual-band one?
    How big is your house in sqm?
    How long you have been using these?

  The AX1800 is on its way out and would explain this price drop.
