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.

X75. Nothing else punches through walls like this model.

I use both Tp-link powerline AV2000 and Deco X60 over a 3 floor house with no problems. The X75 should be more powerful, has great coverage including my gardens, driveway and garage. It has good software. I don't believe you'll regret it.

I second the Deco, good software with it too.

Deco Mesh WiFi 7 3 pack form Best Buy. $200

First question that should be asked, which speed are you subscribed to? Also when did you switch? If you're on the Gig you should be running wifi-7 and that router is free. If you're on 500mbps you should have the newer wifi-6e router and modem. With my ISP (not spectrum) I'm running the deco home mesh system which is wifi-7 because my ISP equipment is 3 generations behind. You can get them from Walmart, best buy, or amazon
