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.

2 x be25 tplink decos for 190$. Try them with a wireless backhaul before spending money on running cables.

2 x be25 deco units will cover most homes and are future proofed with wifi 7 and 2.5gbs ports... for under 150 bucks on amazon.

I've had great success with deco mesh systems. I personally have been using them for about 8 years, currently using the be63's which are incredible. But I've installed several setups in friends and family's houses and they're a breeze to install, powerful, and are incredibly reliable. Not very sure why you'd want to spend more

I had 3 of these. Solid product. Upgraded to BE25s WiFi 7 last month.

I use a mesh system. Used to have 3x TP link Deco M4s. Now upgraded to TP link Deco 25 WiFi 7. Be used to have multiple extenders which were plugged into the wall and basically worked as repeaters but it was finicky. Go for a mesh system

Superloop has been great for me. I am on the 750/50 plan and speed and latency has been great at all times. I have the TP-Link Deco BE25 home mesh system with a few switches and that has been pretty good. If you want to try them out, you can try my code [https://www.superloop.com/internet/nbn/?referral\_code=SLC-1288246](https://www.superloop.com/internet/nbn/?referral_code=SLC-1288246) SLC-1288246

I have 4 pucks of deco 25 wired backhaul. Awesome set up

Whatever you decide it is important to factor in the number of connections your setup will support. I switched to the TP Link because my previous WiFi system only supported 32 connections. the TP Link supports 150. I have 4Br/3Ba house with basement. Once I started adding just smart bulbs I quickly surpassed 32. Add on to that smart plugs, switches, a garage door opener, TV's, laptops, cell phones, etc.... If the WiFi system can't continually hold these connections stable then your device start to "act funny".

Pretty sure any wifi router and AP is better than telus crap. I have 1 gbps plan but they were trying to tell me that my 42 devices are too many for their router and keep it around 8. Lol. Switched to the tplink be25 3 pack wifi 7 mesh from Costco. Wired Backhaul. Couldn't be happier. Wireless boosters/mesh is not great. I had the Telus boosters as well before.
