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.

Is this a good deal or a doo doo deal?

Not a recommendation. I just pointed out why the BE550 is cheap and an example of why some people spend more.

Wi-Fi 7 MLO behavior: Pixel vs S24 Ultra on Archer BE550

I'm just gonna throw out there that true MLO is not supported at all with current vendors. Some people have called it "load balancing" but that's not even correct either; it's more like three people waiting for their turn standing side-by-side to throw a ball at the same target. It's arguably even w

Trouble with new BE550

Yup, similar issue with my BE550. Smart Connect isn't as smart as it should be! :D When I previously had Smart Connect enabled, my Pixel 9 when at long distance, would not drop down from 6GHz or 5Ghz to 2.4GHz automatically. Tether app would indicate that my Pixel 9 had a weak signal on 6Ghz or 5GHz

ASUS RT-BE92U 1 Year On

Not a long term review, but I replaced a TP BE550 with the RT-BE92U two weeks ago. I installed Merlin right away because I had a good experience with it on AX86U. I had issues with the WAN port auto-negotiated the port speed every hour which led to frequent drops (Telus Fiber ONT 10G port > BE92U 2.

Archer BE9300

First things first, the ~$200 TP-Link BE9300 (aka BE550) released in ~2024 is by no means a state of the art router.. Now the $900 Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI with 4x4, AI, etc. that’s more so a worthy contender. Please educate yourself on the true “usefulness” of MLO: https://www.rtings.com/route

BE550 6G not being discovered?

Amigo tenho um BE550. Para mim se trata de um belo bug do firmware. A única forma que eu consegui enxergar com o meu Motorola Edge 30 Ultra a Banda 6 Ghz foi limitando no Roteador para utilizar apenas rede 2.4/6Ghz na configuração do MLO. Dessa forma, o roteador sumprime a banda 5ghz da utilização d
