I have a Deco X50-5G as my router using a sim card. I get around 300mbps using the router directly.

To the Deco X50-5G I have a Deco M5 connected via internet cable. The Deco M5 has its own SSID.

I also have 2 additional Deco M5s to create a mesh with the 3 Deco M5s.

I get around 180mbps using the M5s.

So the question is which Deco should I use to connect to the Deco X50-5G to create a mesh with

only 1 SSID and getting the Deco X50-5G speed?

Deco M9, Deco X50???

Also I have a 2 story villa with round 2000 sq ft

  @MrWamck 

Hi, Deco X50 would be better considering it is also WiFi 6 like Deco X50-5G.

 

Moreover, I think Deco M5 should be able to handle 300m/s. Is the 180m/s speed from the main Deco, or one of the satellite Deco M5?

If it is the satellite M5, I don't think model upgrade will improve the speed since the speed of satellite Deco units closely depend on the distance and wireless interference nearby.

Why is my satellite Deco unit not getting the same speed as the main Deco?

 

Thank you very much and best regards.

  @David-TP  Hi and thanks for your reply. From my tests I seem to get 

about the same speed no matter if I'm connected to the main M5 or

any of the satellites. The main M5 is connected to the X50-5G with

internet cable. the 2nd M5 is in a room across the hall. cannot see it

directly but almost. 3rd is down stairs directly under the middle between

the main and the 2nd M5. If that makes sense?

 

Word it be better to just take the M5s and connect them to the X50-5G

and make the mesh without having 2 ssids?

I know the X50 would be better but the X50 are bigger and the wife wouldn't be

happy ith bigger nodes on the table. I could gt away with M9s but 

probably not worth spending the money.
