The TP- Link Deco S4 WIFI Mesh vs Asus ZenWiFi AX Mini XD4 - which would be better performing and better coverage/handover?

The TP-Link S4 I mentioned above is 3 units vs the ASUS XD4 above which is 2 units. So it would make sense to me that you would probably get better range from the TP-Link S4 but better speeds from the ASUS as it is wifi-6 opposed to the wifi-4 from the TP-Link

Get yourself a smart speaker like the google mini. Pretty useful buggers. They come with a standard routine built in (you can create your own ones too) whereby if you tell her 'ok, google, good night', she will execute the good night procedure which will ask you what time you want your alarm set whereafter she will check you phone battery percentage and advise you to charge your phone if necessary. Finally she will play cricket sounds to help you fall asleep :p ;)

Gave my google mini to my sister. Alexa is much better in my opinion.

2x 4TB Seagate NAS storage for R2999, but they only have one. Hard drives alone are worth more than that. I would have snapped it up if I could afford to.

Update: Was supposed to take delivery on past Friday but nobody heard the driver. Luckily yesterday they did.. Just unboxed it now and no HDDs inside :crying:. The unit is very nice though. Question, was it supposed to come with 2x 4TB HDDs or does it take a maximum of 2x 4TB drives hmm?

Doesn't say but the 2x4TB in the heading implies it does.

Pretty sure the max is not 4tb drives. I didn't read the description with much focus, did it just say 2x4tb in the title?

I would log a return and say product doesn't match description. Get your monies back.

Had a similar issue with raru a few years ago, Synology,8tb and I think it was around R5000.
I did ask them to confirm that hard drive is included and they did, I placed the order and then they called me to say it doesn't....

Definitely was supposed to include the hard drives. I did some research beforehand. They make a model that comes with 2x 6tb drives as well.

I would definitely return it, and there should be no questions.

Heading says:
Seagate STDD200 Network Attached Storage (2 x 4TB)(2 Bay)

The Description says:
Scalability is key. And the Seagate NAS Pro allows you to decide on the capacity that’s right for you - from a comfortably large 2TB, up to a massive 30TB.

So they can't argue that 2x 4TB was just indicating the maximum capacity.
