Deco XE75

I just bought the tp link deco xe75 pro on amazon, they have a 20% back of using prime Visa card. Otherwise the Xe75 non pro is identical minus no 2.5G port.

I use the same routers for 1 gig. Just get 3 of the xe75 non pros

Deco xe75 is nice if you have two or three

If you are looking for a new mesh network. Check out the deco xe75pro. They are cheap mesh routers with 2.5gb ports. They are compatible with all deco models, so your other units can be the less expensive models with only 1gb ports. So for example you could get one xe75 pro and then 2 xe75s for wireless mesh. It might cost you about $200 for the 3 units

I’m very happy with Tp link deco 6E

I have the Deco XE75 and do not have them wired for backhaul. Wifi speeds range from about 350 to 850 on a 1g fiber line. Ethernet gets me 980ish which is about max with 1g Ethernet port on router and 1g switches. That is usually ample speed for anything with running wires.

I have three nodes to cover 3200sqft over two floors. I rarely use 6ghz as my speeds are good and the 6ghz really need line of sight to be of any value. Having said that, I primarily run "smart" devices off the WiFi guest network and cell phones and laptops off the primary WiFi. NAS, desktop computer, etc. are run via Ethernet through a switch.

I've had an excellent experience with my Deco mesh system. And I have several TP-Link switches which have run flawlessly for going on 6 years now.

I have 3200 sqft with two stories and use a Deco 75xe - excellent coverage throughout. Many people hate mesh and will push for APs. While I do agree you will have better speed, often times the point of mesh is to avoid running wires - like if you are renting. I have three units running. I do not have an attic space, but my house is wide - so I needed three to get end to end coverage plus the 2nd floor. I know nothing about Nighthawk mesh - but don't want you to be scared off by the mesh haters.

I agree with promo pawn - a 3 pk mesh will cover a large house. I'm using TP Link DECO without wired back haul and pull 700-800 down wireless on an 800 download service.

I went with Deco - works great. Two story house 3,200 sqft, no dead spots. Guest network segmented from main. Each unit has a backhaul port as well as two ports that functionally work as a switch if you have something that requires an Ethernet cable.

I’m very much just wanting chiaki and GFN to run without problems and have spent way too much time trying to get my deco XE75 decos to work. They are great for everything besides my steam deck. Looking for help!

It’s definitely the easiest plug and play you’re gonna get. I use the TP-Link Deco XE75. It’s WiFi 6E and relatively cheap compared to others or WiFi 7. WiFi 7 stuff is newer but most devices can’t connect to it and it’s still kinda expensive.

If you are a Costco member or know one the AEX5300 is the same as the XE75 but even cheaper, they are the exact same. Your assumptions are going to be wrong, price !== quality. If you want to spend more money look at a Unifi Express 7/Dream Router 7 with a U7 Lite.

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.
