I have 3 X20’s with wired backhaul on a spectrum 500/20 internet connection. Works great. Wired backhaul makes a big difference
I finally got sick of restarting my Nest Wifi manually every two days when my wifi would inevitably stop working. Switched to TP-Link DECO. Oh my god why did it wait so long, It’s been flawless for over a month. Don’t ever have to think about it. Google abandoned this product. If you’re thinking about switching, do it.
Mix. One x50, two x60, one x20 Got em all used. They work flawlessly together
I have DecoX20 and am about to set up a smarthome. Is this not a good choice for a Home mesh system using HomeKit?

I had exact same issue, 75yr old house plaster walls, only one floor plus attic. From advice found here on Reddit I bypassed my Fios router and did the following: 1) My Office is where the Fios comes in from the street: Plugged the coax into the ONT -> 2 feed Amphenol splitter -> one coax feed went to Screenbeam MoCa adapter, second coax went to feed the BR and LR, that coax runs into my attic. \-The Screenbeam Moca adapter in office is connected to TP Link 5 port Switch. I have my computer, Ring, Hue etc all connected to that office switch via ethernet. Instead of Fios router, I have a TP Link DecoX25 Mesh system, 3 pieces. The first one is in my office connected to the WAN in the ONT and that turns it into the new main router that replaces the Fios one. It is also connected to the office switch by ethernet cable. 2) In my attic, the coax that came from the office feed splits once more to go to LR and BR where the coax of both go into the other two Screenbeams. They in turn are connected via ethernet cables to their own 5 port switches. The switches in each of those rooms have TVs etc connected AND the other two Deco X25 mesh units which provide the wifi to those rooms. Before this setup we had 50-60mbps down in BR, now with setup above we have 670 mbps+ It works SO well. Notes: \-CAT6 would be better than coax but terminating Cat cables is a bitch and a half, whereas terminating coax is really easy. You could run the coax through closet ceilings and you won’t see it, then drill through closet wall to each room. \-If you do go this way be sure to buy quality coax and try to run it as short a run as is possible. Buy quality splitters, Amphenol has great splitters, be sure they're MoCA ready and have the speed rating above 1G. Be sure your coax is seated properly when you terminate, lots of YT on how to. Be sure your switches are high enough speed to handle the 1G \-Do not underestimate doing it yourself! It sounds complicated but if you draw out your plan and search other MoCa diagrams you will get it. I always tell myself, if I fuck it up I can always call in a pro :-). \-My Fios installer suggested EERO mesh which I hear is excellent, I’ve had no issues with Deco Mesh. Best of Luck!
