How do WiFi extenders work?
They do work but it is not quite plug it in and forget it like people expect. I tried a couple random extenders first and they technically connected but performance was messy with drops and slowdowns. I ended up using the TP Link BE550 Mesh system and it was a lot more predictable. You still need to

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.

Megvalósítható ez a wifi mesh rendszer a lakásban?
Ne a Deco-t vedd, hanem easymesh kompatibilis cuccot. Nekem pl lent volt egy BE550, fent pedig egy be230, és LAN volt a bachhaul. tökéletesen működött a váltás észrevétlenül, és ha LAN-on megy a backhaul akkor sokkal jobb wifi sebességeid lesznek. easymesh egyébként wifi szabvány, szóval gyártófügge

Which router should I buy? Or any better suggestions
Same, it’s listed as BE9300 (Archer BE550) on Amazon. It works great for me, zero issues in having it for a year. Plenty of options to customize and signal strength is great. I already had a WiFi 6 TP-Link router and I upgraded my main unit and kept the old one to use in the garage as a mesh WiFi no

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

i want to get a wifi 7 router which one of these should i pick?
Hm, I'm seeing you want a Wifi router especially for gaming, PS5 etc. You can go with TP Link Archer BE550. It's Wifi 7 tri-band and plenty fast for a PS5, gaming PC and VR in the same Room. Their mesh systems are better if you need whole house converge but for single room setup BE550 makes GOOD SEN

Finally FTTH 2.5 gb but now? Mesh system...which one?
This won't work with Deco Mesh. It will work with easymesh. You could buy some TP link BE550, which are great for the price (usually on sale for $170), as they are easymesh compatible. The other option would be to get something like the Decos connected directly to the ONT and not use this router. Al

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

Easy-Mesh compatible WiFi extender with Ethernet backhaul
Just yet another BE550. Thats what I did. Easymesh with wired backhaul. It worked like a charm.

Full Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Setup with Deco BE25 - 2.5Gbps Ethernet Backhaul & MLO vs Wi-Fi 6E?
I was recently researching on budget setup to replace my old mesh Deco M5s and M9 pros (not well supported already, old FW and issues with new iphone 17s and guest network DNS). Purchased two archer BE550, they can be setup as mesh and its 3-band wifi 7, and 2.5G eth backhaul. I hoped to utilise all
