Deco BE75

I would get * TP-Link Deco BE75 * 1 covers around 2,500 sq. ft depends on walls and placement, so you need at least 2 if you want to cover the garage too. * you will need 3-4 if you really want to cover like large area outside your house, I would place them near windows, and it will reach really far outside. * https://www.tp-link.com/us/deco-mesh-wifi/product-family/deco-be75/ * https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Deco-BE75-AI-Roaming-2-Pack/dp/B0CQMH8T7P yes its higher price, but it supports * 3 x 2.5 Ports * 1 x 10 Port * 1 x SFP+ Port / FIBER Internet Down the road, you can install FIBER on it, future proof, pay more now, save lots of money later. # People are going to tell you to run CAT6E cables all over the house and drill holes in walls and do all this work, Wi-Fi Technology has advanced way pass this, trust me when I say this, you wont notice the difference, the speed you will get its near what you get from ISP direct cable connection. Yes you will get better speed "reliability" with wired connection, but you wont really notice the difference over Wi-Fi XD It really depends how your house is build, you wont really know if you have to run CAT6E or not until you test 2 Decos and connection speeds.

I tried first the xe55 and then switched to the be75 pro due to reviews online and it actually improved my speeds and range like ppl said. With the xe55 my 1gbit wifi speeds were up and down to 500-600mbps now with the new one its solid at 900+ on any device. It quite a jump price but imo tottaly worth it specially for high speed users. Note also that you might "future proof" yourself with the 2.5gb port on the xe75pro. (my mesh is on wireless backhaul btw)

I've been considering switching to the Asus WiFi for meshing as I'm finding my Deco units (3x 68 and 3x 75, all in AP mode) to be not performing well. I tried to connect them via Ethernet - even just the root Deco and one other, with all others off - and they just wouldn't work and instead flash a red light. I also hate not having a useful web interface I can check instead of being forced into the Deco app. Any experience with the Asus mesh? Is it better, same, or somehow worse?

I'm considering switching to Asus gear after giving up on the Deco stuff from Tp-link. Really frustrated as the Ethernet backhaul just doesn't work, there's minimal control of what AP talks to what, everything meaningful has to be done via a mobile app, etc. The Asus gear looked quite reasonable from that perspective.

I have a 2 pack TP Link Deco mesh system and it works great for me.

I have a 1gb connection and about 100 feet from the main unit through a brick wall I can get 25 megabits a second down.

definitely drink….. ive got tp-link Deco Wifi 7 units at home, and they are excellent - range and throughput

Easy solution is a out of the box mesh system. Im running the wifi 7 deco system with no issues in my 1900 built house. If we plan on staying long term, I will 100% run Ethernet across the house, but that will require a ton of chopping stuff up.

I got the Deco Wi-Fi 7 mesh and usually see 800+ on my devices except for devices that are only using the wireless backhaul. I’ve been very happy with it. Believe it is app only admin though. In my head, the wireless back haul is only done on 2.4 GHz so it would be limited throughput regardless of vendor. I think Unify is probably the leader for this , Orbi is probably a close second. Unless you want to get slightly complicated and use Fortinet.
