TP-Link - Deco X95 AX7800 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System

I use TP link Deco X95 2 nodes system at home and Unifi 7 at work works without any issues for over a year though we will replace Eufy at work as we rolling out our own cloud platform

Yes, at my parents house they have TP Link X95 connected to each other through Ethernet cable (no wireless bridging ) for stability.

I recommend TP-Link Deco or Omada systems.

At this point, just go with what your gut tells you. I personally have good experience with TP-Link. As of now, I have the Deco X90, X95, X80-5G mesh routers, and the Archer BE900, GE800 router models. All have been working reliably.

If your FTTP NTD is stuck in the garage, don’t expect one giant router to cover the whole property. Even a high-end unit like the ASUS GT-AX11000 Pro will choke once you add 20+ meters, two walls, a wardrobe, and three doors. Wi-Fi 6 is good, but it can’t bend physics. What actually works: Stay ASUS: Another GT-AX11000 Pro in AiMesh mode with 5 GHz-2 dedicated to backhaul. Identical hardware syncs better and avoids a lot of the “AiMesh nightmare” stories. TP-Link Deco X95/X90: Very solid tri-band Wi-Fi 6 kits. Great balance of throughput and reliability. Eero Pro 6E: Simple and stable, though be aware that features like advanced parental controls, ad blocking, and network security sit behind a paid Eero Plus subscription. Stock Eero hardware still covers fine, but the extras aren’t free. Ubiquiti UniFi: Fantastic when you can run wired backhaul. Pure wireless uplink works, but it takes more tuning and often won’t outperform a well-placed consumer tri-band mesh system. Placement > hardware. Don’t leave your main router in the garage. Pull a short Ethernet run inside (adhesive raceways look tidy) and put your main node on the first interior wall. Add a second node halfway to the far corner, and if it’s still weak, a third to finish the chain. On a 1 Gbps NBN plan, a good tri-band mesh should still give you ~400–700 Mbps at the far end. With one lonely router in the garage, you’ll likely see <100 Mbps and dropouts. (Side note: I run FixIT Computer & Tech, a small IT shop in Port Angeles, WA. I see this exact situation all the time—new house, NBN box in the garage, and Wi-Fi disappointment. The fix is almost never “buy the most expensive router,” it’s smart mesh placement and making the backhaul work for you.)

I have the 95 and love it. getting about 830 Mbit down no matter where I am at my house.

Such a huge upgrade from my w7200. No drops, no connection headaches, no issues with smart devices (save for a weird issue connecting local network to my pool equipment), and my wife was losing her mind as her WiFi was horrid and intermittent in her office with the last units and replacing them at same locations and she is now a solid 400mbit clean

I run my 85s in Access Point mode with my own firewall/router in front of the 85s. Hence the 85s just have to worry about serving up WiFi. They have been great. My firewall gets regular updates and hence I am not as concerned about update frequency. I was in the NETGEAR camp for about a decade and their update frequency was no better. I ultimately went Voxel with my NETGEARs. The rub with the 95 was that it splits the 6ghz band in 2 losing one of the wide MLO channels. My 2 downstairs I hardwired and hence I did not need dedicated wireless backhaul. I do have another upstairs over the garage, but that is for the kids, and I am not as concerned. So long as they can watch TV, and do their homework - they don’t need full bandwidth.

I have a 2 pack TP Link Deco mesh system and it works great for me.

I have a 1gb connection and about 100 feet from the main unit through a brick wall I can get 25 megabits a second down.

Plus one here for Deco. I have four WiFi 6 models. Mesh is a better solution I agree. WiFi 7 models are still very expensive but few devices are compatible at the moment so for me WiFi 6 is the best option for the money.

You can buy 2 unit. The main one being in the house and another garage. However, it’s hard to determine which type of connection can be used to connect the unit between the garage and the house since i’m not an expert. But if you can run ethernet from the house to the garage than you can connect the deco together via wired backhaul. The deco does have a wireless backhaul where you don’t need a cable for the two to connect but it may or may not work depending on the yard length. You could go with an outdoor unit on the yard and that would possibly be a wirless bridge between the unit in garage and unit in your house - would suggest the outdoor unit to be wired to the one in your house. That said, if you can figure that part of how to connect the deco together, i think you mean 1 gigabit internet speed instead of 1 gigabyte but if you want best performance on wifi you should go with Deco with Wifi 6E or Wifi 7. Wifi 6 is a cheaper choice but expect to get only 700-800mbps on average even in ideal condition based from my previous setup. That said it’s important that your device support wifi 6E or wifi 7 too since it’s recently introduced. Wired ethernet is also a great choice too.

I have a basement, first, second and third floors. ISP's router on the first floor (WiFi 7), and a TP-Link Deco on the third floor (WiFi 6) that's wired to the router on the first floor. Coverage is fine, 500+ mbit everywhere. I dislike the Deco's forced online login and management via a phone app only, and its lack of logging or other functions, so I recommend against it, but otherwise the performance is more than acceptable. And the ISP router is pretty damned good (Orange Funbox 10).

Now is the time - there are good black Friday sales on at the moment. Would get either the TP Link Deco 3 pack recommended below, or a 3 pack Eero. The deco's will be cheaper but will be fine.
