Tplink Deco WiFi 6 mega is amazing you will not be disappointed
+1 for Deco mesh. My house is 3 stories so I went for 3 x X50 and it works flawlessly. My gaming pc is on the top floor and I have it wired to one x50 and the speed is great. Can't remember exactly what I'm getting but it's more than fast enough. The x50 has 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz and you can set which one works for different connections if you want.
I have a 600mbps plan and i use a deco x50. Could deco x20 do the job, yes in paper. But the protocol (wifi 6) is not the only consideration. For deco x50 it has 2x2 mu-mimo which better handles wireless devices. I have wifi 5 device in theory should handle 600mbps but it reality it only handles 300mbps. In conclusion, you may need to know what are your devices and how many. Also what is the structure of the home (concrete or wood walls) if wireless backhaul would be enough or you need wired. If you dont want to think much. I suggest get be25 for future proofing. Deco x50 if your not gonna upgrade anytime soon.
Just add another deco, easier from a management standpoint. But no, you could just add an AP, you would not need a separate router.
E4, M4 and S7 are pretty much the same, they are different generation models with new ones being slim and shorter than the old ones. These 3 are the basic ones and should be more than enough. X series gives you extra security feature (most of them require their paid monthly plan) and x50 that I use allows you to plugin your vpn config and supports wifi 6. If you don't use vpn you are better off grabbing M4 or S7 whichever is cheaper. For my upstairs where I usually work from I have M4.
Dont by Deco. Its terrible. Search for the posts about unstable work.
Yes. First hand experience. I wrote about it here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/TpLink/comments/1kbix7r/deco\_x50\_mesh\_terrible\_unstable/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TpLink/comments/1kbix7r/deco_x50_mesh_terrible_unstable/) for some it works well. for me it worked well for a while. now it is terrible. And more and more ppl are complaining abut stability. Just read posts.
I run Decos (AX3000) in my house which was built like a f\*\*\*ing faraday cage. 2300 feet and I need 3 mesh units to get coverage throughout, plus another one just outside the back door (X50) to reach the backyard, otherwise the signal is gone after 15 feet.
for best and stable speeds is to use ethernet cables or existing coax cable. next best is wifi mesh and deco are a good for its price and ease of setup. i would get min 3, but you might need more as 2 floors is more tricky. from the list best is the x50, but s7 will work fine for your isp speed.
better than mesh is to use ethernet cable with AP. mesh wise tplink deco are easy and quick to setup.
unifi is good, but ive had good results from tplink deco
go with full tplink deco make one of them as the router..
used and installed tplink deco for some friends
