I've used the S4 AC1900 trio (older but worked well), along with the X55 trio. Still Wifi 6 but decent coverage. The one failure was the Eero Mesh 6, stopped working but got a replacement set from Amazon and shipped the old set back. No problems since then.

Arris Surfboard and TP-Link Deco X-55.  I own both and they have been bulletproof.

Installed Deco x68s at my place, x55s at in laws, x55 pros at friends, and Linksys Velops at other friends, all hardwired, rock solid and roaming works flawlessly. All of them having 20-30+ clients.

I had good experience with AX55 (wifi6), AXE75 (wifi6e) and AXE95 (wifi6e with 2.5G port). AXE95 does provide 2.5g port, but just 1. If your ISP is <= 1G, you can probably use 1G port as WAN and connect 2.5G switch to 2.5G port for 2.5G internal network. My 1000 sqft apartment did fine with a single AX55, was more than enough. Even recently moving to 3000 sqft SFH, AX55 at dead center of the house covered entire house.

4 y/o Netgear Nighthawk MR60 whacked out 5 days ago -couldn’t keep but a few of the 70 devices that previous work fine. I added one ring 5 GHz camera and everything started to get the shakes. Hard boots slow adding of devices I couldn’t get anything to work. Many hours of frustration!!! ordered a TP-Link Deco‘s X 60 3 unit for $140. Amazon had an X 55 three node for $150 AI scoped out my picture and suggested x60, why the x55 gives 3 ethernet ports vs x60 with 2. Hardwiring 1 of 2 satellites, should have no problems for next 5 years - right? Any thoughts.

We have 2 deco x55, an x50, and an x10 with wired backhaul and everything works seamlessly. Great coverage all around the house.

I have a mesh consisting of 2 Deco X55’s. Each has 3 ethernet ports. Unit #1 is connected to the Optical Network Terminal (Fidium is my ISP); Unit #2 is connected to Unit #1 via an ethernet cable that’s built into the house. My security system hub is wired to Unit #2. Now that you mentioned it, I’m going to plug in my laptop to Unit #2 and test the speeds to/from.
