Deco x55 pro (two 2.5 gig ports versus three 1gig on non pro). Serve me well for similar specs. Can get 3 pack for under $150

I have a near identical set up to you in that about 2200 SF and version FIOS. I have three TPLink x55 pros (WIFI 6) about the home and have IMMACULATE coverage. I know it isn’t in your list but would still highly recommend. That said, if the x55pro is sufficient, I think any of your listed options would do even better. So my input is that you can’t really go wrong

I have a very similar setup - ISP connection set to Modem only, connected to a TP-Link X55 router with a second X55 at the other end of the house, creating a mesh setup. I have run a single Ethernet cable from one X55 to the other, thus creating a wired backhaul, and taking a huge amount of wireless pressure off the X55s. This article explains the process - [https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1794/](https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1794/) . I have also given each of my 7 Sonos devices a static IP address, and this seems to have settled things down pretty well. Finally, I turned off the 5 GHz band on the X55s and run completely on 2.4 GHz. I now have a rock solid SONOS experience and no issues to deal with. Everything currently runs at a speed which works for me - though I would never say no to more! LOL. Good luck.

Brother in law upgraded his old nest to the new, both were flaky and dropping connected units. I gave him my deco X55 ax 3000 three piece set and he hasn't had any trouble, nor did I. I upgraded to unifi system for extra control/features.

I had an X55 trio, every time my Starlink downloaded a firmware update the main router would hang, had to reboot the whole network. Returned them. Then I got a trio of XE75 to see if they worked better, and though my Starlink didn't cause any hangs, devices just randomly go offline, my iMac, my MacBook, my wife's iPad, iPhone, Kindle, IoT, etc, etc, and the only way to get the device back was to reboot the main router. Just returned those today and won't be purchasing any TP-Link moving forward. Like every device, some have luck, some don't...my old Synology RT2600AC worked brilliantly, and for now I am on an Adtran 854-v6 that a previous ISP left for me, and this thing, for an ISP router, works great, I am absolutely shocked this Adtran works so well, ISP routers are usually POS...

Hello! My house has a (rough) 90 square meters area, with 2 floors, and is on a 500 square meter lot. I have my router in my living room, which sits close to the center of the ground floor. The issue is that the ceiling/floor is blocking ALL of the wifi signal to the first floor, even when standing directly on top of it. Due to this issue, and me needing wifi for the first floor, I am trying to pick a somewhat cheap option for a mesh system. I was looking at the TP-Link x55 AX3000 with 3 units (costs 200 euro in my country) but I'm not sure if it'll be strong enough. My best case scenario is I have a good wifi coverage on the first floor, and a bit of wifi on the exterior of the house, but no need to cover the entire lot. Thank you! Edit: Well I just fixed the issue. Got the Deco x55 AX3000 and passed a wire from the living room up to the office to connect the second device with an Ethernet Backhaul. My ISP router apparently sucks, because just one mesh device had almost twice the range. I have WIFI in \~75% of my lot, which is great. The issue is that I now have a black cable dangling in the wall lol so I'll just get an electric gutter (not sure if that's the term in english), paint it and stick it on the wall 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sadly there was no other way for me to get a good and stable connection up there without the cable. Thanks to everyone that gave their input!

hope you have not bought it, it is the lousiest mesh system ever, less stable than even my spare mesh using ax3000p and AX55. node disconnect once a month, after reconnect sometimes upload speed stuck at 0.0x mbps. then you have to reboot the whole mesh. i rate it 3/5. random node disconnect, blinking blue light, sometimes light is white, but no internet over lan at the node. very disappointed for such expensive product i used it for 6 months.
