Model: Deco S4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi, we have a simple S4 set up and all works well, but we need one extra unit.

 

As it seems that you cannot purchase single S4 Units, I would either have to purchase another 3 pack or maybe buy a X20 2 pack which is a similar price point.

 

Should I just buy the additional S4 Units as I know these work well ?

or should I upgrade the main unit to X20 and add the 2nd X20 as the additional unit.

 

Will the X20 work with the other S4's ?

 

Thanks

Deco S4 are WiFi5 mesh, Deco X20 is WiFi6 mesh compatible with WiFi5. X20 and S4 can work together, but adding WiFi5 Deco to your existent mesh will be better for consistency. 

 

For WiFi5 only Deco models, you can choose between S7, M4, M5 and also if you plan new unit connect wirelessly to Deco mesh - E4. Deco E4 may be the most inexpensive, but it has 100Mbps Ethernet ports and is not good if it is connected by Ethernet cable to the rest of Deco mesh. When wirelessly,- it is as good as S4.

 

M5 is sold in single units.

 

I checked Amazon in my area, 2-unit set of M4 is almost half the price of 2-unit set of X20s.

 

If you can't get anything from the list I provided for the price you accept, go with X20s and also check if they sell X10s in your region.
