Model: Archer AXE75   Deco X55  
Hardware Version: V7
Firmware Version: V1.6_1.6.1 Build 20241010,20220527_Router

I  researched the best wifi router to find the perfect fit for daily home use. After reading expert reviews from trusted sources like the new york times, cnet and  rtings, two models consistently stand out as top recommendations:

 

  • TP‑Link AXE5400 Wi‑Fi 

 

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Tri-Band-Archer-AXE75-Wireless/dp/B0B3SQK74L/?th=1 

 

  • TP‑Link Deco AX3000 Wi‑Fi 

 

https://www.amazon.com/WiFi-6-Mesh-System-AX3000/dp/B09PRB1MZM/?th=1 

 

The archer AXE5400 delivers cutting edge wifi 6E tri band performance (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz + 6 GHz) with a combined throughput of up to 5.4 Gbps. A 1.7 GHz quad core CPU, WPA3 security, built in VPN server, and onemesh support make it ideal for gigabit plans, gaming, and homes that do not need multiple nodes.

 

On the other hand,the deco X55 mesh kit covers up to 6 500 sq ft with seamless roaming. Each node supplies dual band AX3000 speeds and has three gigabit ethernet ports for wired backhaul. Its self optimizing mesh, parental controls, and easy app setup are perfect for larger or multi story homes fighting dead spots.

 

However, I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs. I mostly need reliable wifi for streaming, video calls, casual gaming, and smart home devices. Top speed is great but whole home coverage and easy management matter too.

So which one would you recommend:Archer AXE75 or Deco X55? Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

My take is if a single router will handle your needs then that is the way I have and would go. Setting up a Mesh system with Ethernet back haul would not work very well for me and that is the way I would want to set up a Mesh system. Mesh has improved since I went with a single router that fits my needs and I have been very happy with my setup. My ISP service is only 600 and my needs are met with that speed as I do not game. Use the KISS method.
