    I am tossing up between this or the TP Link deco x55. Seems like the x55 has better coverage based on reviews.

    • Niceye on 04/10/2024 - 11:09

      I have used high end TP links but software updates stop coming. This is good, no need to micro manage this router. I have 2 of these on both ends of the house (about 25m difference with 8-10 walls between) and get about 480mbps-650mbps (1Gbps line) depending on where I am.

    Purchased a 3-pack a couple of months ago and have had zero complaints. Works perfectly and they frequently release software and app updates.

  • pointblank on 04/10/2024 - 08:08

    For those with access to GG Commercial, would you say that the TP-Link Deco XE75 Wi-Fi 6E Mesh Router System (3-Pack) for $445 is more worthwhile? It's tri-band and wifi 6E. A little concerned about range as I'm buying for a gift for family with large house.

      Depends on your use case. If you are streaming content of your nas to multiple devices, you might benefit from wireless backhaul where you can't wire the backhaul. Otherwise prob wouldn't notice a difference.

      I ended up buying the TP-Link last week and have been pretty happy with the performance. I'm using the wireless backhaul in a medium sized house and the devices downstairs (main router is upstairs) get around 750-800 Mbps. The only issue I had was a minor one during setup where the devices were not showing even after connecting them, but reinstalling the app fixed it.

      PS: I checked the GG Commercial and it's still at $445 for me.

      • MerlinKlendatu on 04/10/2024 - 13:33

        Similar setup for me but feel the wireless backhaul is not great. How do I best measure throughput to understand what’s actually happening?

        • fareseru on 09/10/2024 - 14:36

          I have the TP-Link BE65s. I don't do any extensive testing - all I use are speed tests. What I'll do, for example, is go into room A, which has a node in it, with the original node in room B, on the other side of the home. I'll force my phone or laptop to connect to room A's node (it's possible in the Deco app under "connection preference") (when you click on the node your phone/laptop is on, tap the phone/laptop and "connection preference" should appear). So force it to connect to room A's node, then when it shows as such in the Deco app… do the following.

          Then you use the speed test. That will give you a fairly good indication as to how it is performing! Then you can move the nodes around as needed. You may also find that if you've daisy-chained say… three nodes in a row, it may be faster connected to the middle node, rather than the closest node, due to the loss in speed between each one. I was using the XE75s before, was consistently getting 950mbps through our HFC connection. In any event, most people don't even need 100mbps, for us 250mbps is ideal, and I think… anything higher will make little difference for the majority of people.

          I get the same with the BE65s, meaning, high speeds on a wireless backhaul, but I am now living in a unit with solid brick walls, and man, it just slams through them, I get gigabit speeds no matter where I am in the unit. But the XE75s are more than good enough - and if you have any wifi 6E devices, make sure you turn on that 6Ghz band (or use it as backhaul, I can't remember what the XE75s allow you to do… I can use mine for both backhaul and for my devices, although the only things I own so far that support the 6Ghz channel are my iPhone 15 Pro and Macbook Air M3).

          What I am truly excited for is the ability to use an MLO network - which basically means that your nodes communicate with your devices through the 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz and 6Ghz bands all at once, rather than how it currently is - with one device connecting to just the 5Ghz band or just the 6Ghz band. It'll mean that the LAN "highway" in your home will expand, as it has been explained to me, so that there are more channels for "cars" (the internet) to travel down… improving latency, speeds and reliability. Like going from a two-land road onto a six-lane highway. The same goes for if Australia approves the 320MHz channel (I doubt it will).

          But wifi 7 isn't even fully ratified yet here, 6E is taking off, let alone wifi 7, so my BE65s are very much a future-proofing technique, of sorts. Anyway! If I could've, I would've, sold you my 3-pack of XE75s - sold them for a mere $300, in "as new" condition. If that is the setup you have - great choice. I personally would avoid Amazon's mesh systems, they take far too much of your personal information, it just… worries me. On the other hand, a lot of people say they "just work", but so do the TP-Link mesh systems.

          A quote from Eero/Amazon - source

          "We use information about your eero network to help us optimize your wifi performance and provide you with functionality in the eero mobile app. This includes your internet connection speed, network status, the devices that are connected to your eero devices, device IP addresses, signal strength, and data usage" […]

          And from another site, also Amazon (information you either need to give them, or information they take from you) source two

          "Your name, phone number, credit card information, billing information, and shipping information when you order or request Products from eero"

          "Your name, phone number, and/or email address, as well as any other content included in the communication, when you provide us with feedback or contact us via phone, email, or otherwise (for example, for support purposes or when you participate in one of our surveys)"

          "Information you enter or settings you apply through the Products (such as your eero App settings, your network settings like SSID and password, or network profile names), where eero has associated this information with your Account"

          "Information about your access to Products from your personal device, including through the eero App (e.g., your personal device’s unique device ID number and manufacturer, MAC address, hostname, IP addresses, eero App engagement information, and eero App crash data, including personal device model software version and device carrier)" […]

          "We may share your Personal Information with our vendors and other third parties to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include to:

          • provide you with the Products and technical support, including facilitating Account creation, fulfilling orders, processing credit card payments, or other functions necessary for our business;
          • conduct testing and analyze the performance and use of Networks and the Products; and
          • provide marketing services, including emails about eero products and services.

          "These third parties have access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes"

          I won't lie - I use Amazon Prime from time to time - but I just don't trust them with my wifi and internet, not given the above disclosures they've been forced to make (and which many people skim past when buying/setting up these units).

          They have so much information about your system, your network traffic, how often you use your devices, which types of devices you have, your personal details, they can disclose those to third parties, they may even be able to see DNS-related information, and ultimately… buying Eero was a very smart move by Amazon - now they have the means by which they can gather so much data to improve their own marketing etc (of course they don't go through your search history, that would be illegal, a huge breach of trust and it would likely destroy confidence in the company). And I know that other companies gather some data, but yeah, I don't trust Amazon.

          Let me know how you go! I've only ever used a wireless backhaul, in the place we just bought… as I said, it's solid brick without plaster, several electricians told me it would cost $1,000 (if not more) just to install a second ethernet port in e.g. a bedroom. Because they'd need to drill through the brick, which takes a lot of time (apparently), then when it's all done, we'd need to pay the plasterer and painter to come back and fix it. So yeah, for now, wireless backhaul it is, yet I'm still getting gigabit speeds.

      This is also not 6GHz (Wifi 6E or 7). Did you mean "non Wifi 6" aka Wifi 5? There are a few eero versions:
      - eero: Wifi 5 - dual band AC1300
      - eero 6: Wifi 6 - dual band AX1800
      - eero 6+: Wifi 6 - dual band AX3000, 160Mhz channel width supported
      - eero Pro 6E: Wifi 6E - tri band AX(E)4200, 160Mhz channel width supported
      - eero Max 7: Wifi 7 - tri band BE20800, 320Mhz channel width supported, + a few other Wifi 7 features.

    If you have luck with stock at Bunnings, the Google Nest Wifi Pro 6E 3PK seems a better buy at $366.75 (~$20 cheaper and Wifi 6E vs Wifi 6).
    Most Bunnings seem to have this price but not all of them, some stores have it for even less - lowest I've seen was $40.

  • eleon00 on 04/10/2024 - 09:28

    i had 3 of them. this is the dual band version. meaning it will rely on the existing bands as wireless backhaul to create a mesh. the pro version is triband. that one has the dedicated 3rd band to do wireless backhaul. which means it will not be sharing the wifi bandwidth to create the mesh. any other mesh at this price point is better than this. not worth 150 at this point. i had to toss it and revive my old rax70 until my flint2 arrives.

    i have gigabit hfc and i only get ~300mbps at any point in the house with the eero 6+. my rax70 does better and can reach ~800mbps

    • teamcooperuk on 04/10/2024 - 10:19

      Interesting. I have a weird combination of an Orbi RBR20 with one RBS20 and one RBR50 satellite. I'm on the 1000/50 ABB plan but rarely get above 400mbps in North Brisbane (HFC also).

      The reason for any upgrade would be to get higher speeds consistently, but the Tri-band mesh systems have exceeded my budget. Aren't most over $500?

      • entropysbane on 04/10/2024 - 10:33

        Definitely need a router with a newer protocol to get the most out of your broadband speed. You’re probably maxing your setup out and leaving bandwidth on the table.
        I have an RBK50 triband set up and not bothering to go beyond a 250Mbps service until time to upgrade mesh router.

      • rookie317 on 04/10/2024 - 16:39

        I assume you only get 400Mbps on Wifi (if wired then there's some serious routing issue going on) and connected to the router. Tbh that just might be the limit of that AC (Wifi5) router.

        Is your place wired? A wired backhaul is ideal for any mesh Wifi system. iirc most Orbi don't even offer wired backhaul, they also don't allow mix n match between version so I think you should bite the bullet and move to another system. Especially if you want to get the most out of your 1Gbps plan.

        Asus AiMesh is a good recommendation, pick a good one for router and a lesser one for node. Or GL.inet Flint 2. Those shouldn't break the bank and offer upgrade down the path too.

        • teamcooperuk on 05/10/2024 - 15:27

          Yeah that’s wireless speed, and no, my place isn’t wired.

          The house is roughly 300sqm and before the Orbi I had crazy signal issues. There’s a quarter length wall that splits the living/kitchen area from the rest of the house. It seemed to almost kill any wireless signal dead. No idea what’s in it!

    • beeroll on 04/10/2024 - 11:46

      I get 500Mbps on my laptop, but higher numbers on my phone, weirdly. Mostly it's been reliable though and was cheap as hell through Leaptel - the thing I dislike most about it is that our MiRobot vacuum refuses to connect to it, even when I use the function to set the Eero to 2.4 Ghz only for a few minutes for the authentication phase.

      • bcYield on 04/10/2024 - 13:11

        I'm guessing dual band here means it only supports 5.0 GHz and 6.0 GHz but not the 2.4 GHz?

        • rookie317 on 04/10/2024 - 15:58

          Dual band here means 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Tri band can be ambiguous (2.4+5+5, 2.4+5+6). Quad band is even more ambiguous :D

          • bcYield on 04/10/2024 - 16:06

    I bought the TP xe75 from the deal last week.

    After working off a google mesh system and consistently having daily drop outs because of lousy wireless backhauling, I’ve had nothing but a pleasant experience through wired back hauling with the TP link. I have one particular wall that dead zoned every setup I’ve had.

    I hope this helps steer anyone who’s trying to wireless backhaul and faces similar dead zone issues that I’ve had.

    Not sure if this system can wire backhaul, looks like maybe it can?
