Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • If you do want to, Deco and Eero are probably the best options.
  • Deco or Eero. Wifi6 ones are fine so you don't spend $600+.
  • If you want to stick with mesg, go to Deco or Eero.
  • Have Deco at my parents house, older units. Works great for them.
  • Eero and Deco are the popular options for mesh systems and it's usually the easiest method for a good home network and coverage.

Cons

  • But I do not recommend deco. Go with a unifi cloud gateway in the ‘internet box’ and some access points.
  • DECO - all your traffic is subject to the Chinese snooping as you are using their app to manage your network. The Biden Admin. Investigated and should have banned it.
  • the above PtP over to an existing TP-Link Deco mesh system.
  • Is a "mesh" system like the Tp-Link deco or Asus zenwifi system a decent solution?
  • I currently have TP-Link Decos and they require an app and cloud connections.
