Deco XE75 Pro AXE5400 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System

Since I've had Sonos gear in my house, I've run three mesh wifi routers: a Netgear Orbi, a Tp-Link XE-75 Pro and now a Eero 6E. By far the Eero has been the easiest, most stable and most reliable of the bunch. The TP-Link was absolute garbage and nothing but a headache for the 6 months I had it.

I just tested out a handful of mesh systems, Eero6, TP Link XE 75 Pro and their BE63. All worked fine in our 3100 SF drywall and lumber home. But the apps or web gui were all dumbed down / simple. I settled on the ASUS BT10 two pack. Fast and crazy coverage. Great app and web gui IF you want to tweak settings.

The main mesh appliance (Deco XE75Pro) can act as a VPN client or a VPN server, but this is probably not the scope of the question.

I'm happy with my Deco (XE 75 Pro) setup in AP mode. Main node wired to the router 2.5Gb, 2 nodes wireless backhaul. No significant difference when connected to any of the 3.

I used to hear them non-stop and then they stopped keeping up, charged more, I heard less. 6e took a bit, but 7 took a WHILE. Stuck at 1gbps unless you wanted 20 for a bit too. I think they got a bit neglectful of prosumer. Why am I spending $400-500 for WiFi? They seem to be refocusing now. Fingers crossed. I just want the 2.5gbps to connect to my M4 MacBook air upstair at 0.25-1 gbps (6GHz, 5GHz, CAT 5e in the walls). Only CAT6 is crimped. 2 TP Link Deco XE75 (2022) \+ 3 TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro (2023) In a 1600-1700 sq ft condo is insane. I Tried 1 XE75 Pro in the basement and my wife and daughter have issues, in their room and in and kid's room. Wife comes to bed, Wifi is ok. I will be curious with my wife switching laptops to my current one) what happens.

Avoid TP Link, garbage headache App for NEARLY everything too I liked the wired backhaul (a MUST and WiFi 6e)

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

I recently installed the [Deco AXE5400](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8B8MCF1?language=en_US) (aka XE75 pro) 3 pack, and it is phenomenal. 2 story house and put two upstairs at opposite ends, and 1 downstairs in den next to our primary streaming TV. My Wi-Fi speeds have literally tripled without doing anything else. I don't have any ethernet connected between the access points either. 10/10 would recommend.

I installed the TP Link Deco system, last weekend and am floored with how good it is. Without changing anything else, the Wi-Fi speeds in my two story home have literally tripled.
