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

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

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

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

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

Legion i7 pro gen 10 won't send universal plug and play to router
Just to add to this the router refuses to acknowledge my laptop and use universal plug and play, even tho I've spent two days on this with Gemini trying to make it work. The old Xbox walked right in and used universal plug and play on 2.4ghz with the Tp Link Archer BE550 9300 no worries. It worked f

ASUS BE9400 vs TPLINK BE550
BE550 applies to several routers so you’d need to be more specific. That said.. we run TP-Link BE9700 and BE9300 (Both are BE550 routers btw) in a 3 story 3800 sq/ft house on a 1 acre property. Same SSIDs so whenever I move around my mobile devices reconnect seamlessly as needed. Fantastic signal st
