Deco X55 AX3000 Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System

https://a.co/d/chdM3Y8 Just purchased this last week Tp Link Deco x55

Pulling this up was horrendous because my tmobile service sucks but its this one. TP-Link Deco AX3000 WiFi 6 Mesh System - Covers up to 4500 Sq.Ft, Replaces Wireless Router and Extender, 3 Gigabit Ports per Unit, Supports Ethernet Backhaul (Deco X55, 2-Pack) https://a.co/d/7qdP4Ts

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. 

I'll tell you right now, it does not matter what equipment or plan you get from Spectrum. I have had nothing but problems with them. Business internet service, then residential. Headache, tears, money down the toilet, more tears, hacked, id theft, fraud, more tears, credit hell from the fraud, more tears, treated like dirt from them, then you guessed it...more tears and it even gets worse. I spent months, and a lot of money on them, finally I said screw it, and I learned about home internet, routers, vpn, static IP, Dynamic IP, service "boosters", a ton more info and even what your square footage has to do with it, how your house is designed, what its built with, where your router is placed...everything I could think of and the rabbit holes they took me down...and it was all worth it. I went back onto Spectrum residential (because business or residential, it really doesn't matter when it comes to their service, and when there is another provider in my area, I'm switching to them on day one), I got a decent used router (because I am not giving them another extra penny if i can help it and all the lights and fancy boxes don't matter. if it can do the job, thats all you need), and I got the 3 pack TP Link Deco X25 home mesh system. I paid for a VPN which is not that much at all, I think $40 or $50 for 2 years and I know you would normally think it doesn't do any good with a dynamic IP, but I trust Spectrum as much as I trust taking an Ambien and MiraLAX at the same time, and once I changed to my own router, hooked up the Deco system which one of the devices becomes your new router, that's why I didn't buy a fancy expensive one :) and got the new VPN set up...everything has been amazing!! It is like night and day. I had to move my router over about 2 feet ( it was not getting a good signal to my home office through some thick walls, the furnace, the hot water heater, a bathroom and around some corners (good going on the set up, Spectrum) which was only 1 of the 3-4 reasons why i was getting dropped or timed out service) I gave Spectrum back their junk cable with their junk router, ran my own cable into and through my wall and tied it into its own outlet box (changed out the outlet cover to a solid flat so no one will plug into it) I hooked my laptop straight to my TP Link Deco unit with an ethernet cable, I have a very small amount of devices on the VPN , a couple of devices on a new free guest network through TP Link, the same for the other unit located on the other side of the house having it straight plugged into the TP Link unit with the ethernet and also had to move that over about a foot, and I have not had one problem since. It's amazing that a Fifty...lets go with one, 51 lol, sickly and disabled little lady the size of a pixie fairy, can figure out, buy and set up a better home system, customized for her home, all better than the company I paid to do it correctly to begin with. The TP Link Deco x25 3 pack was not to bad of a price. I did some research on prices and time frame of future use out of it and at that time (March) Best Buy had the best deal on it. I lucked out on the router and got it at a liquidation store. Just do your research and get one that can handle your situation and what is important to your household. . Equipment depreciation and time length of future use is important to me. Am I going to buy it and then in 2 months a new version is going to come out and I'm going to be stuck having to manually update it or not be able to update it at all? I also use PIA Private Internet Access for my VPN. I feel great with what I now have and secure from bad people on the outside, I just wish I knew more about encryption and security from bad people from within my home. I'm working on that now :) Thanks for reading my novel lol lol best of luck to you.

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.

Wireless backhaul is fine for 99% of people. Unless there's some specific reason you need the router, you can send it back. The mesh units offer most routing functions. Then it just depends on how much you want to spend and how big your space is. I would think 2 x55s would cover you well, but you might want 3 units to make sure. They're very easy to setup. Go from your modem to the mesh unit. 3 pack is 150 on Amazon right now. Doesn't work just send it back. But I've been using tplink mesh for about 8 years now and have had a great experience.

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

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
