Model: Deco X60  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.5.3 Build 20231226 Rel 68787

I have a TP Link Deco X60 Ver 1 at home with 3 nodes and all setup as AP’s

 

All 3 are hard wire plugged into my home network with cat 6 cables to local gigabit switches then connected through in house/in wall wiring back to my basement where they are plugged into a gigabit switch and then to my gigabit router.  2 of the nodes are satellites and 1 is the main connector and all ethernet backhaul

 

So 3 x devices plugged into the house and all connect to a switch in the basement.  The switch connects to my router.

 

My question is this.

 

I want to buy some new and more nodes for more power and speed.  So I was thinking of getting some wifi 7 devices and connecting to the network.

 

Does it make sense to use the Deco x60 as master and have new wifi 7 connect as more AP OR how do you suggest we setup like maybe the Wifi 7 devices setup as the master and convert the rest of the wifi 7 and wifi 6 devices to satellite AP’s ?  If yes, how do I do this exactly and which versions of wiif 7 are compatible with this ?

Hi, welcome to the community.

Do you still plan to set the new node into "AP" mode?

In general, it would be better to have the WiFi 7 unit as the master unit.

Take Deco BE65 for example, the 6 GHz option is visible on the Deco APP only when Deco BE65 serves as the master unit.

All Deco units are compatible with each other: Can different Deco models work together?

 

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
