I received a different device for my second install, do not really like the ax3 compared to the tp link i received.

Which TP-Link btw?

@Afrigirl can you confirm what routers you're currently giving? On Metrofibre btw, if that changes anything.

I received this one, much better and a whole lot more features.

I have 2 AX3's and a 5200 Huawei router set up in mesh configuration. Works wonderfully. I have a long house with the fibre installed in my office in the middle of the house. Have the one AX3 in my bedroom and the 5200 in the lounge. No coverage or speed issues.

WiFi signal is fine. However, it is REALLY a very cheap device with very limited configuration. You cannot have 2 SSIDs, unless you split 2.5 gig from the 5 gig band. Then it is still not possible to name the split SSIDs individually. No VLAN support at all. Various other niggles as well.

I seem to have been robbed, as this was not a choice in May when I signed up. The Huawei device is pretty useless.

You can definitely name the 2.4GHz and 5GHz individually.

How? I could not find that option.
