See those dates one is within 6 months the other in the last month. The x60 is as stable as it gets but also varies on the hardware version there are over 4 of them.
Tp-Link does regular updates and has for over 2 years now for almost all their product lines (deco 100%), but if something is not broken then why try to fix it, unlike a few other brands who fix one thing and break another so they have to rush to push another firmware out, I wont name names but you probably know who that is.
Yep, plus the guy is blowing smoke.

Since switching this out most things work fine (ring, Google, home assistant) but looks like some intermittent connection issues as my Google nest displays now regularly (a few times a day) complain of no connection before restoring and flipping back to photo frame.
I'd hoped these would prevent me having to run cat 5/6 through the house but really haven't given the performance boost I'd hoped.
Oh and the admin software is very basic, can't even set the 2ghz and 5ghz on separate ssids, all you can do is turn on/off 2ghz/5ghz. 6ghz can be on different ssid. Feels very limited coming from a merlin firmware router.
The radios you connect to should be traditional 2.4 and 5ghz. It's no different than an older mesh tri band with 5ghz, except no interference (currently).
There's is no 6ghz connectivity unless you use as a single node or have it hop from other connections.
They function as 2x2 AP's. Which is fine if used in WL backhaul.
I also have a wide, wide variety of smart home items and tplink has been rock solid with all of them. I'm pretty impressed overall. App is basic, but everything works well so I can't complain that there's not much to fiddle with. I have the x3600 system, been watching the new model though I don't need it as I'm pulling my full isp speed of 500mb wirelessly everywhere in the house already.
Any questions, let me know. Really like it though. Simple setup, firmware updates, everything just works.
These the X60s are dual band if your doing a pure wireless setup the triband AXE5300 will be superior and they are also normally about 100Mbps faster compared to the X60s. That being said if your dont need internet speeds over 700-800Mbps the X60's will do just fine and you can pocket $100. So it depends more on your needs and wants.
It would be good to have a bandwidth monitor/traffic monitor on the units but i don't think it will happen any time soon as this request is at the top in tplink forums from last few years.
Asus interface/controls are good (the units will definitely be expensive compared to tplink) but i am not sure if i can mix those units with existing M9+

Also if your hard wiring them you will actually get very solid speeds even from the satellite units, just make sure the X60s are first connected to your modem and the M9+ should be on the outskirts of your network, I know weird cause its a triband but the lower bandwidth of the M9+ would bottle neck the whole system if you left it connected to the modem and the X60's to those.

Very few companies allow you to separate, except for Asus. Netgear only on some but you have to know how to access their web driven interface and its not in the app.
I believe they finally added that to their business line of orbis this year.

Never buying that disaster of a system again. They're dead to me.

I put my Deco AXE5300's in gateway mode and using OPNsense to run the router.
