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.

MLO vs pure 6GHz - Which is faster with BE550 and Wifi 6E and 7 devices
With MLO enabled on my BE550 mesh, I can only connect to main router node (testing with iPhone 17 Pro) while sitting by satellite node. Main network is roaming fine, but MLO does not roam. Support has confirmed me that it’s known “feature”. Anyone has better experience with MLO across mesh? To me it

“Regular” Network vs MLO?
with MLO enabled, are you able to roam within mesh and get connected to any mesh node? I was told by tplink support guy today that BE550 and BE63 both support MLO only off main node. Which is a showstopper for me in large house single node can not reliably cover the area.

MLO and compatibility
with BE550 MLO is only working on main mesh node. Support guy told me today. And he said its same issue with BE63 which mesh-tuned model. With eth backhaul i really hoped to seamlessly use third band for wifi 7 devices - new iphones, macbook and ipads.
