Deco XE75

Wifi 5 is 12 years old, don't buy it. Wifi 6 is the minimum you should buy. Wifi 6E adds 6GHz support, Wifi 7 adds some features for higher efficiency. Tri-band operation isfairly important for good mesh performance, that leaves the 6GHz band open for your clients and 5GHz can be used for the connection between units. A 3 pack of Deco XE75 are 226 euro, I would go that route. Should be comparable to the Eero Pro 6E units. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Deco-XE75-Tri-Band-Comprehensive-Protection/dp/B09ZRY9YHB If your house has coaxial cable purchase some Moca 2.5 adapters. Using them to create wired links for the mesh network will substantially improve performance.

I 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.

Your diagnosis is right, the R6700v2 is too old and too small for a 2-story 2100 sq ft home. The dropping 5GHz, daily restarts, and inconsistent speeds are all classic signs of a dying router, not a Cox issue. You want a **Wi-Fi 6 mesh system (2-pack)**. Three solid options: - **TP-Link Deco XE75** (~$200–230) - best value, Wi-Fi 6E kills the 5GHz interference problem - **Eero Pro 6E** (~$250–280) - easiest setup, very reliable if you just want it to work - **Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12** (~$350–400) - best for gaming, has QoS traffic prioritization for PS5 One thing to check: if you're using a Cox-provided gateway, put it in **bridge mode** after setting up the mesh or you'll get double-NAT issues that hurt gaming latency.

Super cool I bumped into this. I have 3 xe75 (non pro, all wireless). Range is extreme but I was itching for unnecessary wifi 7 (there were some be2x promos). Saved me the money xD

I have installed over 200 mesh systems in houses 3K to 13k sq feet. The larger homes had a few Ethernet drops to aid in reliability. All worked fine over the last 3 years. Precise Placement and signal testing is required or reliability suffers. I use certain deco units I confirmed as reliable and I always wait until a model has been out for 12 months. Note- the feds may cause a problem for many non USA models early next year, but millions of home would be affected so I am not currently worried. They want commitments to have devices produced in the USA and firmware monitored for callbacks to other countries (and possible fed back doors some speculate)
