Deco X5000

x20 is base model for wifi6, non-main nodes will max out at half declared speed because it must simultaneously communicate with main unit and client device x50 has additional Ethernet port per unit and additional hidden 5GHz network used as dedicated wireless backhaul so that it can work full speed xe75 has wifi6e with additional 6GHz network that can be used as either normal network or wireless backhaul etc For 700mbps I’d take at least x50, you probably want it going full speed at all times plus some extra for lan communication (like between pc or tv and nas)

You have three/four options: - mesh system like deco (it is closed system where only deco devices will work, but you can mix and match any deco devices), you will have one network with fast roaming - mesh with your existing router using easymesh (its official WiFi standard), many TP-Link devices work with easymesh, but check compatibility first, if your existing router support easymesh it may be easiest way to create mesh network (you can even use non-TP-Link device that supports easymesh), again you will have one network with fast roaming - there is OneMesh system that is older and TP-Link only (many TP-Link devices support it, again check compatibility), you will have one network with fast roaming - only extend network with any extender, you will have network under new name and no fast roaming between networks Note that if nodes are far away from each other and have some obstacles lower bands will work better while higher bands won’t probably connect at all. So you need fast 2.4GHz, any 5GHz (and 6GHz won’t probably work)

Tplink Deco WiFi 6 mega is amazing you will not be disappointed

spectrum provided routers are hot garbage buy a mesh wifi system do not buy an extender - they never work well moca/powerline adapters only sometimes work, often not worth the effort mesh wifi systems work well eero, deco, both work fine. There are other various brands, pick whatever has a good black friday sale and high reviews. you buy 2 or 3 of them in a kit as you get a discount for buying more you remove the spectrum wifi router 1 mesh unit plugs in where the spectrum router was the other mesh units use wifi, it's simple On the ps5 you could also try connecting to 2.4ghz if 5ghz is not stable. eero 6 3 pack is 140$ on sale right now on amazon tp deco 6 3 pack is 132$ on sale right now on amazon

I quite like the base model Deco sets and they do fine for lower/moderate speed setups. The M4 is dead cheap or the x something-or-othet is only about £180. Plus they're happy to be wired or mesh! When I say I like, I've installed them for a good few clients as a siple solution to good feedback and no issues to be honest!

Wifi boosters are a waste of time in my opinion. Mesh Wifi on the other hand can work very well. A great trick is to use the mesh stations as "ethernet extenders". I recommend a 3 unit mesh system for your house. Put one beside the modem and plug directly into the modem. Put one behind your TV and use an ethernet cable to connect your console (and possibly your TV) to the mesh unit. Put the third unit upstairs in a central location or in an office/study room if you have one. You need to disable the wifi signal coming from your modem to avoid wifi conflicts. If you have Sky internet and Sky TV this can be tricky to do because Sky TV force enables Sky wifi. There are work arounds such as making sure the Sky TV box is connected with ethernet rather than with wifi. I have used TP Link Deco mesh for years and find them excellent. Others recommend Asus. A wifi 5 system is cheap and good for 300MBs or so wifi speeds. I currently have a three unit wifi 6+ system and we are getting 700MBs+ wifi speeds and over 900MBs on devices plugged directly into the mesh units. I assume Wifi 7 is even better but it costs more. Just try to make sure you get a tri band mesh system so that you can use all three wifi bands (2.5, 5 and 6 GHz.)

This is exactly the set I have. Works great in. Two storey House.

To get the benefit of mesh you need two units. Plug one into your modem and put the second beside your PC and plug the pc into it with a short ethernet cable. Be sure to disable your modems built in WiFi and use the mesh WiFi instead to avoid clashes. Note if you have fibre to the premises you might not even need the modem. You can plug the master mesh unit directly into the ONT if you have the correct login details. The mesh units talk to each other and establish a very fast wireless link between units. It's not as good as a wired connection but it's the next best thing.
