Meshing together Deco units and Archer router

You can't mesh them together, as they're not compatible. Even if you give the WiFi networks the same name, these will still be two different WiFi networks, and you won't be able to seamlessly roam between them. There is no actual reason to keep your BE550 as one of the Decos can be your main router.

New router up and running

I've had this router for just over a week, and as you say, it is easy to set up ect. Done a fair bit of messing around with it, first off I tried it as a Mesh satellite wired into the YouFibre WiFi7 (Sagecom) router, all worked well Mesh wise. Now, the BE550 is the main router with another TP Link r

City Fibre Router suggestions?

I've got the BE550, no issues with it whatsoever. Currently running it with Nufibre and on 2.3Gbps symmetrical. Ethernet speed tests max that out without a hitch and WiFi 7 can hit around 1.5Gbps down, 2Gbps up. Running a NAS off of one port, a dedicated torrent PC off of another and a home mesh kit

G5AR gateway, without ethernet vs with ethernet. should i get a router?

Yes, get a router connect it to Ethernet and move it where you have the best wifi signal while leaving the gateway where you have the best cell signal. Everyone has been complaining about wifi disconnects so you will kill two birds with one stone. Fyi: I am using the g5ar connected to a be550 with a

Suggestions for average gaming and family Netflix

Wi-Fi 7 routers like the TP-Link Archer BE3600 or BE550 are now fairly budget friendly. Last I checked they were around $100. That's going to offer some future-proofing with better multi-device handling than Wi-Fi 6, though most phones/TVs aren't fully Wi-Fi 7 yet. I'd say skip high-end Wi-Fi 7 unle

Considering to buy TP Link Archer AX10 - AX1500 Router and use as AP.

At that price the AX10 is tempting, but it is very much an entry level WiFi 6 device. It wor⁤ks for light browsing, but once you have video calls, stre⁤aming, or multiple phones connected, it can start to feel inconsistent. I ran a setup like this behind a fiber router and spent more time adjusting

MLO and compatibility

I had nothing but issues with MLO on my BE550 Pro. I also suggest turning it off entirely as there is not much real world benefit to client devices at the moment.

Hows everyones experience with IOT network?

Geez, I thought 36 devices was already bad enough. That's not counting my 20+ Phillips Hue devices either. They're so freaking expensive BUT the hub and advanced features make them 100% better than all of the other smart lights I've used by miles. In your case, an entirely different physical router
