"My home is single story with 5 bedroom with 506 square meters house.30 plus connected devices.dont have any buffering issue at my place to play xbox ps5 watch live 4k channels."
"After losing around 1% per hour down to 10-15% with gas furnaces running, I can now have the whole house around 35-40% with the Aprilaire 800 on a 5 ton unit for the largest area of the house."
"After 6 years of using it for all my security cameras and IoT it’s basically pointless to run CAT cable throughout a house in today’s world. ... I have 3 wireless cameras on my deck, 2 on my garage, one on my door, 2 inside my home. ... Including the other random 70 devices throughout my basement (movie room), office (2nd floor) in a 3500sqft home and have literally zero issues, from stream live security streams, streaming movies, gaming doesn’t matter"

"faster speeds with a wired back call mesh system ... Paying for one gig down and could barely get 500 on an iPhone 16 Pro Max… With this one I’m getting 1100 down which is amazing."
"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."
"internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi"

"perfect for gaming, streaming, and working without annoying dropouts"
"I do own TUF AX6000 and its QoS is almost perfect with SQM cake on a gigabit WAN. ... SQM with some hardware offloading works well on this device at least up to 1.5Gbps/1.5Gbps (down/up)."

"tplink just works ... I follow up with my customers each month and they say everything is much better and working great. I only hardwire nodes, never wireless, and I buy the wifi6e versions- I’m not saying tplink is better than Unifi, just saying a hardwired network and wifi where you need it is the recipe."
"I have a TP link Deco with all nodes hardwired it works brilliantly."

"But they abandon all their ROG products after 1 year. ... After you buy that $699 router if you need warranty or it has a bug (like mine) where it'll stop dropping macs onto ethernet after a few weeks you just get to deal with it."
"My Deco XE75 pro had one of the Ethernet ports go bad. I spent way too long figuring that out today."

"I have some very stupid "smart" devices that would not maintain connection to the ASUS XT8s. They would drop off, reconnect, etc. I suspect they don't like WiFi 6, because they work fine with the R7000 (which is a WiFi 5 router). ... I spent weeks fiddling with settings on the XT8s and couldn't find a combination that worked"

Batesyboy1970 1.03x XE75 Pro has been great in our 3-storey house. 6GHz wireless backbone. Even better now they're in AP mode and I have OPNsense as router, firewall and DHCP/DNS server.
I have a three-pack XE75 Pro system, ground floor connected with 2.5gE to my OPNsense router which has its WAN port plugged directly into my BT ONT port. Then the other mesh nodes are one per floor with 6GHz backhall in our 3-storey new build and am getting solid 925Mbps on my wired network and total coverage on WiFi at around 800Mbps+ on my Samsung phone. I have an extensive homelab and IoT/home automation system with over 100 endpoints.

boscosoans 1.0I have 2 in a 2 bed. I use the XE75 Pro. I would suggest you look at the newer BE65 series (either 2 or 3 pack) as the price is slightly more on Amazon than the XE75 Pro and they are newer. I would also suggest that whichever mesh you use, if you have Ethernet points in the rooms, that you do a wired back haul - connecting the nodes via Ethernet points. They're more reliable than wireless back haul. If wireless back haul is your only option then it is not bad at all with newer devices. If you have an Etisalat connection then you'd need to call them and ask them to open access to use your own router. Tell them to also restart the main device remotely. After that you'll be able to use your router.
CitizenDik 1.0Mesh can work great. It's not as consistent or predictable as Ethernet or MoCA/g.hn, but it's usually more reliable and predictable than Powerline. You'll likely get speeds much faster than 50 Mbps, but, like Powerline, you won't know how well mesh works until you try it in your house. Mesh/WiFi will almost certainly introduce latency. You'll prob only notice it with gaming, tho. Mesh is plenty fast for video calls, video streaming, etc. You might need 3 mesh nodes: one to replace your current router, one near the PC, and one in between the two. Start with two, tho. The XE75 Pro is solid, and for sure buy a tri-band system.
Cyberspots156 1.0I started with 500 Mbps coax service, using 3 XE75 Pros. Over time I moved up to 1Gbps coax service and I also started moving to BE85 units. I now have 2 Gbps fiber and I now have 4 BE85’s. With the purchase of the fourth BE85, I no longer need the XE75 Pros. Honestly, I’m quite pleased with the BE85’s and I prefer them over the XE75 Pros. I’m currently using wireless backhaul and I live in an older home with thick interior walls. I typically get 1.55 Gbps download speed and about the same for upload using WiFi. I plan to move to Ethernet backhaul, but I haven’t had time to make the change. Living in the U.S. my biggest concern is the threat by the federal government to ban the sale of new TP-Link equipment. If that happens, then it’s only a matter of time before the security software updates stop. However, this shouldn’t be a problem for users outside the U.S.
dingleberry_sorbet 1.0They make a version of this with 2.5gb port - the XE75 pro. I have 2 of the XE75 gigabit models and yes transfer speeds from ethernet port are limited to about 940mbps. I'm underwhelmed by Wifi 6E in general due to range, but it still does really decent backhaul speeds. I'm considering buying 1 XE75 Pro to use as the main node and keep the XE75s as satellites. But I don't have gigabit fiber currently and it would be way overkill for my setup.

DoINeedYou 1.0Have Decco X75 Pro with 6 nodes, 3 in Ethernet backhaul mode. Phone still connects a decent ways from the house, but a mesh network won’t fix any connectivity issues with your devices unless they’re some of the few that can utilize the Eufy WiFi Bridge.
Ed-Dos 1.0I'm happy with my Deco (XE 75 Pro) setup in AP mode. Main node wired to the router 2.5Gb, 2 nodes wireless backhaul. No significant difference when connected to any of the 3.
Enumeration 1.0I just bought the tp link deco xe75 pro on amazon, they have a 20% back of using prime Visa card. Otherwise the Xe75 non pro is identical minus no 2.5G port.
FalconSteve89 1.0I used to hear them non-stop and then they stopped keeping up, charged more, I heard less. 6e took a bit, but 7 took a WHILE. Stuck at 1gbps unless you wanted 20 for a bit too. I think they got a bit neglectful of prosumer. Why am I spending $400-500 for WiFi? They seem to be refocusing now. Fingers crossed. I just want the 2.5gbps to connect to my M4 MacBook air upstair at 0.25-1 gbps (6GHz, 5GHz, CAT 5e in the walls). Only CAT6 is crimped. 2 TP Link Deco XE75 (2022) \+ 3 TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro (2023) In a 1600-1700 sq ft condo is insane. I Tried 1 XE75 Pro in the basement and my wife and daughter have issues, in their room and in and kid's room. Wife comes to bed, Wifi is ok. I will be curious with my wife switching laptops to my current one) what happens.
Avoid TP Link, garbage headache App for NEARLY everything too I liked the wired backhaul (a MUST and WiFi 6e)

Far_Tradition5791 1.0I have deco x75 pro..3000 sqft..all points have multiple wired connections which is great. Most deco pods( different variations) are flexible to work with each other. I have x75 pro and x20 pods..all on same mesh. I've had the system for about two and a half years and I can tell you it's been near flawless. Speeds are constant, almost no drops...ever!! Easy to setup and maintain. Auto updates... You really can't ask for an easier mesh setup that just works
