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.

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 Xe75 pro 3 router. For $250 at Best Buy. This photo is on my iPhone 16 downstairs. Main router is upstairs. https://preview.redd.it/ruaz7enqn95g1.png?width=1206&format=png&auto=webp&s=55b3e074af5bfc1ae2346fabcb451c0492bc488e

As my main router is upstairs connected to spectrum modem in a room. I am using the Axe5400 Xe75Pro not familiar with the ones you mentioned. But I do have a 3k sq foot home.

Deco XE75 Pro is why I went with when I upgraded last year. I tried a couple other brands including Eero, but had bugs or issues with all of them. The Deco was the only one that worked great with no issues.

I just got the Deco XE75 Pro. Currently using a wireless backhaul, my ISP is 1.5 Gb download and 100Mb upload. I get strong wifi around the interior of my home and it now reaches my smart devices outside my home. Typically get around 400-500 download and 100 upload anywhere in the house. If it’s not too hard to run Cat6E I’d do that but it wasn’t so straightforward for me because the old owners had finished the basement and ran Cat5 around the house.
