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.
We've moved on from that, it's now about the mx5300 (a set of two is sold under mx10600). Less ram, better CPU, 4x4 mimo, 160MHz channel widths on 5G radios. Basically better suited for higher throughput SQM and wireless backhaul.
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. Check it out HERE: TP-Link Deco AXE5400 Tri-Band... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8B8MCF1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I was going to connect the mesh access points with Ethernet, but when getting 700MB Wi-Fi download speed from my 1 gig service, why bother?
Sweet, I'm picking up the XE75 Pro
If you want a turn-key solution that doesn't get into the weeds, go with a [TP-Link XE75](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/tp-link-deco-xe75-pro-axe5400-tri-band-wi-fi-6e-whole-home-mesh-system-3-pack-white/J39QK2QCVK/sku/6508223), [Eero 6E Pro](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/eero-pro-6e-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-6e-system-3-pack-white/J39QV82L2X/sku/6495778) or [Eero 7 Pro](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/eero-pro-7-tri-band-mesh-wi-fi-7-system-3-pack-white/J39HW6RKK3). Hardwired is best no matter what you buy, but a tri-band mesh will be fine for most people. Don't get a dual band setup unless you're running ethernet to your nodes. Ubiquiti is the ultimate setup with a price tag to match and endless ways to tweak and break your setup if you're not IT knowledgeable. Consider hiring this out if you wouldn't be comfortable tweaking settings. For example, Apple Airplay does not work out of the box until you enable group rekey interval for wifi>security in the Ubiquiti console.
I have the XE-75 Pro mesh system and they claim that it supports up to 200 devices. I currently have over 50 connected with no problem. All kinds of devices. Smart lights, outlets, garage doors, thermostats, cameras, etc.
They don't specify specific numbers per band, but all of my IOT items are 2.4ghz. the only devices that use 5 or 6 ghz are phones, laptops and streaming devices. So I would guess that 40-45 of mine are on 2.4ghz.
I've had it for over 2 years. It has been very reliable.
