I’m thinking of running a Deco X10 as the main router and a Deco S7 as a satellite in the same mesh.

Because the X10 has AI-Driven Mesh features and the S7 doesn’t, I’m trying to understand how they work together in practice:

• Do the X10’s AI optimizations still apply when a non-AI model (S7) is part of the mesh?

• Does the S7 limit or change what the X10’s “AI” can do (routing, band steering, client steering, etc.)?

• Are those optimizations applied across the whole mesh or mainly on the X10 node itself?

• Also, what are the CPU/RAM specs and real processing power of the Deco X10? Is it strong enough to manage two Decos and a bunch of devices without becoming a bottleneck?

If you’ve mixed these models (or similar), I’d love to hear how performance and stability turned out. anything you’d do differently?
