Yeah you see that little "V4" in your confidently incorrect statement?

Thats the hardware version of the X20.

So far since the x20 release in 2020, TP-Link has made a V1, V1.2, V2, V2.6, V3 and V4.

Only V4 of the X20 has had a firmware update since 2021.

Do you think anyone has any control on what version of the X20 they get sent? I bought mine last year from Amazon and got sent the V1.2 which hasn't had an update since March 2021.

Again with the x60 there are multiple hardware versions of the same device. Unless you are lucky enough to receive a newer hardware model then you have not received firmware updates in over a year.

I've never had a router that doesn't receive security updates now and then plus basic features like picking the satellite each device connects to were promised and still haven't arrived.

I'm guessing the ones they keep selling at sale prices are the older versions of the Deco's and until you receive it you will have no idea.
Since I am the one who brought up HARDWARE VERSIONS in my original response to you I think I know that.

Your original statement had no mention of it just X20's and x60's are not getting updates, which clearly IS NOT CORRECT cause they are. Your particular version might not need one so its not but others are cause they MIGHT NEED IT.

Newbie question: I have Xfinity 1.2 Gbps internet (which can get up to 1.4 Gbps). Since these Decos have Gigabit ethernet ports, my understanding would be I should use them as access points after my 2.5 Gb switches (otherwise I'd be limited to 1Gbps if I went from modem to Deco first). Is that correct?

Also, I can hardwire 2 Decos but not the other (my house is 25 yrs old). Any problems with having 2 Decos hardwired and 1 wireless when used as access points?
That only works if your modem has a 2.5Gbps port and you would need your 2.5Gbps switch connected to it to have that bandwidth available for wired connections. If you want to do it that way you would have to use the xfinity gateway as your router and setup these units as access points. Setup would look like this

Xfinity gateway > Switch> Access points

That would be the only way to utilize over 1Gbps from your internet with these units since they only have a 1Gbps port.

As for problems with having one wireless, there wont be any, it just wont be as fast as the other two nodes.

There are only a few MESH products that can provide up to 1.4Gbps wireless and that would be the AX5700 and X90 from Tp-Link (both with 2.5Gbps ports) so if you really want the possibility of getting well over 1Gbps over wireless those are the models you want, but there are many factors and variables that might effect the ability for you to duplicate that results. A tester using the AX5700 almost identical to the X90 but a step down was able to get 1.4Gbps using a wifi 6 client with 160Mhz channels, making them one of the few capable hardware for that.

This Wifi 6E set unfortunately caps out over wireless around 800-850Mbps.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know. The Xfinity modem does have one 2.5 Gbps port, so looks like I'm good to go.

Nest is not going to be nearly as fast, it's only wireless AC. Plus it's coming out with a newer one later this year so I would wait if you're considering that product.

Bought this a month ago and it's been rock stable and fast (1gbps download/990Mbps upload) via WiFi 6E 6ghz from my desktop about 15 ft away from one of the access points.

Can't say the same about my previous ubiquiti set up (UDR+u6 Enterprise)

Are you using Ethernet backhaul or wireless? What kind of speeds are you seeing on Wi-Fi 6 devices not so close to the AP?

Ethernet backhaul on all the points. Regular WiFi 6 on my s22 it's about 300 to 400. You won't reach gigabit without a 6E device

Is there any difference between XE5300 and XE5400 other than number of nodes?

I have two of the old google Wi-Fi hubs. One always disconnects from the hub network and is essentially useless. Would this be good to switch over to? Does it have data on device usage etc?

No, they're the exact same. I have this at my house (over 7,000 square feet), and it's working great for me with the ethernet backhaul. I have one placed in the basement, one on the first floor, and one on the 2nd floor. My previous wi-fi extender setup would get dead zones and frequently dropped connections, but I don't have that anymore. I have one issue where one of my outside Eufy Floodlight cameras has only a 1-bar signal so if I could just buy one extra node to put in the garage for a stronger connection for that camera it would be great.

I am thinking the same thing! Although from Best Buy rather than Amazon for the asus xt8 only because I have a $70 gift card. I like the tp link has 3 devices vs Asus only 2 but asus has a 2.5gbps port and usb. Tough decision but let me know any feedback you might have. Thanks
