Model: Deco PX50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Am I likely to be fine creating a network with 5 or 6 PX50 units?

 

Will the units use wifi for backhaul if its faster than powerline.  I suspect that in parts of my property powerline will not be an efficient connection due to the age of the wiring but I know I will need powerline. 

 

Or am I better to combine the PX50 with a seperate wifi only mesh product from Deco? - which one?

Hi, welcome to the community.

It is fine to use 5 or 6*Deco PX50 units under the same Mesh system. If you need extra units, another PX50 would be better than Wi-Fi Backhaul-only Deco models.

 

Have you ever used any powerline adapters before in the house?

If not, I think you could start with a 3-pack Deco PX50 kit and test the network performance first. If everything goes as expected, we could add an extra 3-pack.

Thank you very much and best regards.
