I have used TP-Link products for a long time and have never had a single issue. Their Kasa line of smart switches and plugs is fantastic IMO, especially factoring in the price component. Their routers are also solid, although admittedly not as feature rich historically as some other brands like ASUS or Netgear. On the other hand, my Netgear routers all had connectivity issues and died after a few years due to unstable firmware updates. My TP-Link mesh system has been running without a problem for over a year.

We have Spectrum, and no issue marrying to their modem or getting internet going. I was afraid I would have to deal with Spectrum, but I did not, it hooked right in.
Possibly tl;dr Spectrum info - In case anyone wonders why I don't just use Spectrum's router, here's the story. The one we'd had several years, and never had any issues with, died a few months ago. I took it to Spectrum and they gave me a shiny new Wave 2 rac2v1k router. It's pretty. It's also not only locked down to where I couldn't even rename the network SSID, but I started having WIFI dropping issues multiple times a day. NOT acceptable. Spectrum was not helpful. I decided to take matters into my own hands. Our only other choice for internet is Century Link. Probably enough said, lol.
So far? I know it's first day love, but so far I love it! My WIFI devices seem much faster. The app is great and I renamed the SSID during setup, and renamed the devices as needed. I will do more, but I wanted to get everything on before doing more tinkering.
I'll update if needed - so far, so good!

I did call TP Link and they told there is no difference between X60 and W6000. W6000 is sold only in Walmart. I ended up getting W6000 from eBay for 90$, waiting for shipment
House is about 2700sq ft.
Or would it be better to get the $75 Archer AX21 router and a compatible (?) mesh extender? It says it supports onemesh, but it's not clear what extender would work with it?
also know the "onemesh" limitation as it will only extend your primary SSID, so if you have guest wifi and others setup, it won't extend range for those. Otherwise a solid brand as I have their ethernet over powerline units as well.
EDIT: I see now that there may not be a way to have separate 2.4 and 5GHz SSID's. That sucks. TP-Link definitely targeting very normal folks out there without any kind of wifi complications.
--------- original comment ------
I'm interested in the Deco S4 as wifi access point. With that onemesh comment, does that mean only one ssid can be extended, but if you use the units themselves for AP, can you have multiple SSID's in the mesh?
I know there are wifi extenders. Does the single SSID limitation only apply to the wifi extender function? Or the entire mesh is only limited to 1 ssid?
Does this provide separate SSID's for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks? I'm assuming mesh is only for the 5GHz? So do you designate one of the AP's as your 2.4GHz provider? Or can each device also provide a different 2.4GHz ssid? Not mesh, just adding more 2.4GHz AP's?
I have 2.4GHz cameras still, so my understanding is that this won't help the 2.4GHz cameras right?

Edit: Looks like Amazon currently has a coupon code to make an x68 2-pack $220, which is the same unit cost as the Costco 3-pack for $330. I need/want 3, so this doesn't help me, but it's a good price if you only need 2.
