100% use your deco. Put the Rogers gateway in bridge mode and let your own equipment do all the work. Will make transitioning seamless.
I had x20 3 pack too. I actually thought they were good. It was the subscription to use parental controls that made me ditch them. I went a bit OTT. BOUGHT Asus Rt-be92u x 2. One as router and other as node. Great kit
That will be deco x20 and higher.
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.
I 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
EDIT: SOLVED TY EVERYONE I AM HARD WIRING OR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT PANELS. SKIPPING WIFI UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. EDIT2: Thank you everyone I learned A LOT about Home Networking today :D you guys are the best. Hello people of Home Networking. My budget is $800 max. House is 5400 sq ft. Have AT&T Fiber. Router located in office in front of house entrance. Room located through ceiling and flooring for second floor. Goal is to have a router than can keep my gaming going, but also support the fam. They use Roku, phones, and streaming apps. Nothing crazy. Need stable WiFi connection, hoping to get at least 100MBPS download speed over WiFi bare minimum.

Speedwise, I'm downloading at like 20 MBPS at max. (IK FOR HAVING FIBER THIS IS LOW AF LOL download games through Steam at 20mbps flat). I'm happy enough because this is kind of stable.

Any advice, please?
I'd get the x20 2 pack. Try 1. If you need more coverage, plug in the 2nd. To test your real speeds, hardwire into your modem with a decent computer. In theory, that will be your max. You won't get full bandwidth all over your house on the x20s but you should see 400-700mbs. Maybe more
Get a 2 pack of the tplink x20. 109 new , 79 used on Amazon. If you don't like it send it back
Installed 2 x20 units in my neighbors 4000sqft+ house and she is fully covered past the garage 2 floors. Gets over 400mbs at the opposite side of the house. That's plenty for 99% of people. And it's simple to setup and in 8 years I've seen almost 0 issues. $110 on Amazon for the 2 pack. I use a common sense approach to setting up people's homes, but yeah if they're one of the less than 1% of homeowners that need a port with full bandwidth and 5ms ping in every room you're going to pay more and look at other options, but it's bad advice to tell everyone you need to hardwire your house.
Tplink x20 or x55, 2 units. Lose the traditional router. Don't listen to these people that say you need to hardwire. Try wireless backhaul first. You'll probably be surprised by the performance
Depending on your budget, 3 tplink x20s or x55s should cover you. Hook 1 into your modem, and then you can simply plug them into an outlet and add them to your network. I wouldn't get anything that says "extender" and I see no reason for a "traditional" router anymore. I spent a bunch of money on one of the most "powerful" routers out there a few years ago in our 4000 sqft house and it was worthless. Discovered tplink mesh units and see no reason to change. 3 units in our new 2900 sqft house and we're covered all over the backyard and out to the street
What kind of a wall? A metal barrier is going to be a bear for anything to get thru. Aside from that my tplink mesh system has been fantastic and if you only need 1gb and wifi 6, the x55 or the x20 units are cheap and strong.
I mean I don't have any experience with wifi-extenders, I know my cousins have had iffy reliability from them, same with the pods. If you want my honest opinion, if you are able to spend more than $100, I would suggest just getting a mesh router, I got 2 Deco X20s and they have been far more reliable and faster than the HH3000 (I know you have the HH4000 but that is all I had so that is what I can compare to), especially when placed a bit more optimally from each other and I couldn't be happier. It will cost you more upfront but in my opinion it was definitely worth it!
I had a TP-Link Deco WiFi 6 Mesh System(Deco X20) - Covers up to 5800 Sq.Ft. and it kept shutting down every 5-6 hours and I would have to reset all the other links. Just beware some may not work too well.
You just missed all of the black friday sales unfortunately.

I have an X20 system and had the same connection issues with several devices. Have you tried Address Reservation for these devices? It's under the Advanced menu...completely solved my issues
Same. Plus all Decos are compatible with all other Decos, which makes upgrades easy.
