Hi, welcome to the community.

Apart from the smart home devices, did you have any 6GHz-capable mobile devices?

How much of the internet bandwidth?

If most of the mobile devices are still WiFi 5/6, it is recommended to keep the Sky Hub and add several Deco models in Access Point mode, such as 2 or 3-pack Deco X20, to extend the wireless coverage.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

not sure how much bandwidth I have?

 

I thought I read the sky hub was hard to configure which is why I was looking at something different 

 

none of my devices 6Ghz 

 

how does the x20 perform going thought walls? As I got several outdoor devices which require internet access

Hi, thanks for the update.

There hasn't been a single, absolute standard to measure the power of Wall Penetration on the router.

Signal penetration is primarily determined by physical frequency bands, antenna design, and transmit power. Deco XE75 has more wireless antennas and three wireless bands(2.4+5+6GHz). Theoretically, its wall penetration capacity would be better than Deco X20. However, the actual improvement might vary in complex environments.

If no 6GHz clients in the near future, I would suggest starting with a WiFi 6 Deco model first.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
