Thank you! Does anyone know if you can put two of these systems together for a larger coverage area?
You absolutely can! For anyone wondering the Deco mesh system is great overall (especially in the WiFi roaming department) - but the flexibility/options as a router are limited due to the app-first firmware design. If you are a power user, consider using these as an access point with another router such as an Asus which provides a lot more configurability.

I have 9 of these in a mesh with 3 on a wired backhaul. I originally had them all mesh wirelessly but decided to wire in 2 nodes to increase throughput capabilities. My home is just over 8800 sq/ft and it covers indoors perfectly. I also use 4 x TP-Link EAP610-Outdoor to cover my outdoors. Just set a different ssid for outdoor wifi like: wifiname-ext. I use an Asus RT-AC86U for my main router, with wifi disabled, and the TP-Links are all in AP mode.

I purchased the M9 from Costco a few days ago at $160. Should I cancel/return and go with this instead?
Okay, hear me out. I used to have an eero wifi 5 mesh dualband and now I am using DECO x60 wifi 6 dualband, similar to x20 but faster.
it depends on whether devices in your household capable of utilizing Wifi6. M9 is wifi 5 with triband means it has 1x2.4ghz and 2x5ghz(dualband+ac(newer 5ghz))[howtogeek.com]. With that said, each device will connect only one of those networks at a time but the hotspot will assign device to specific band based on the signal strength. good part of having two 5ghz is it helps network congestion in a room crowded with devices that are using 5ghz.
Deco x20 is Wifi 6 dualband mesh. so 1x2.4ghz and 1x5ghz but completely different wifi standard. speedwise, there is not much to mention in 2.4ghz band , the "theoretical" speed in 5ghz got a big bump across the variants of wifi 6 mesh.
Again, the speed bump in 5ghz is only useful if your clients/devices support wifi 6 standard.
hope this helps

I've been using these for about a year and I'm pretty happy with them but there are some weird things missing that I would really expect every router to have. Most notably, there's no way to manually pick which channel you want them to operate on so if you're in a congested place you just have to hope it picks a good one.
These are awesome. I have a 3400 square foot home and these cover the entire house entire back yard, sides and front yard with full bars all around. 2 xbox series x one wired and one on wifi with online gaming a tv or 2 streaming Netflix, 5 ring cameras and a ring door bell, a few smart devices all running at the same time with no slowdowns. I pondered on this system for weeks maybe even a few months and finally got it and damn did I wish I had bought it a lot sooner. Especially for my ring cameras that with the old Netgear nighthawk kept losing signal and or weak signals, now they all have full bars . I have the one connected to the router upstairs in the loft, one downstairs in the front living room and one in the downstairs back family room. If you have corners with no signals get this system, can't go wrong.

How is it compared to AX3600 (_https://www.costco.com/tp-link-deco-wi-fi-6-tri-band-whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-system%2c-3-pack.product.100775280.html_) from costco for $270?
