Deco Mesh speed
Hi. Apologies if this has been asked and answered before bur I recently upgraded my fibre speed to 500/200. I have a Reycee AC1300M gigabit router and connected 4 Devo E4 mesh extenders.
I get the full speed on the router but under 100mbps on the extenders.
Which mesh extenders would best complement the router for max speed.
TIA
Deon

Deco E4 has 100Mbps Ethernet ports, that is what limits speed of your Deco mesh.
To address that, you will need to buy Deco unit that has gigabit Ethernet ports, add it to your Deco mesh and promote it to Main Deco. You can keep E4s as Satellite Deco. This is the least expensive solution.
Considering what you have, the best option for new Main Deco would be Deco M5 or Deco M4.
To add new Deco as Main Deco to your Deco mesh, follow this document, Case 2: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/2400/

If you want to replace your Deco E4 set with new Deco set instead, I would recommend Deco X50 or Deco X55.

For 500/200 speeds you most likely will not see the difference between these two options. If you plan to upgrade to faster than 500Mbps speeds in next 2-3 years, X55 may be a better option.
It is because E4, M4 and M5 support WiFi5, they can deliver up to 500-600Mbps over WiFi. Deco X55 supports WiFi6, is capable of delivering gigabit speeds.
