This should work. Also, less switches - better. Not the other way.

 

7-8 Decos, most of them wired, is possible. See How many Deco units can I add to my Deco mesh network?

 

Also, why X60, any special reasons? For what you plan, I would have chosen X50 or X55: they have three Ethernet ports, while X60s - just two. If you have device you can hardwire to Satellite Deco, such as SmartTV, having extra Ethernet port on Deco unit may come handy.

Hi Alexandre - Thanks for sharing your thoughts and confirmation on the configuration.

 

Yes additional ports always gives flexibility.

 

X50: Has 2 ports. 1 POE in and 1 out for wired daisy chain another X50. However I still need to power up both in the X50 in the daisy chain. 

those in just end-points, directly wired from router, will save the power chord-etc.

 

X55: should be a good option. Thank you!.

 

X60: 2-ports 'only'. If I m powering any of the X50's for daisy chain (wired), I as well go with X60 with better specs was my thought process.

P.S: Just saw, TP_link-India site X60 has better specs than X60: TP-link US /global site. i m now doubting ... whats going on here ... Just saying.

How Many can be added: X60 is not in the list for adding 6-deco's. India site does not have other models -> X68/X90/XE75/BE95/BE85 From the website you sent above -> "Additionally, for a few Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 models like Deco X68/X90/XE75/BE95/BE85, etc. If you feel necessary, please add more Deco units by following the tips below."

This is X50-PoE, it comes with two Ethernet ports. There is also 'regular' X50, identical to X55 - has three Ethernet ports. In your region, TP-Link could be selling either X50 or X55, no difference between them. If TP-Link sells both, get the model sold for less.

  @Alexandre. 

Alex thanks. X50,55 not available. XE75 is in stock. But quite expensive, double here.
 

I don't need wired distribution to all devices. Like my amp needs Eth/wifi, Deco X60 will have one port free, So it will feed into switch. Then onto amp. All end points outlets can wire feed switch. Yes Little compromise. 
 

Or mix and match. 
 

XE75 - 3nos (use in daisy chain) 

X60 - 3Nos (use in end point) 

 

hope this is okay

I would not recommend XE75. It has many complains on that forum, more than any other Deco model.

 

If I to choose between X60 and X50/X55, my choice would be X50/X55. If choosing between X60 and XE75, I would go with X60 only.

  @Alexandre. 

I know why you are suggesting.

 

X55 - 2 ports.

X50 - 3 Ports

X55 has 3 ports. The link you provided shows 3 ports. Here is screenshot:

Just placed order for X55's (Not available immediately), should be available in 4-5 working days.

My Internet connection speeds: 500Mbps

This is my current plan. In future I can add other lower cost deco (M5/other) as access points correct ? [ ok if speeds reduces by 2x]
