Yeah, all my AP's will be wired to connect the backhaul. I already have a M9+ working fine but there are couple of spots where the signal is too low because of the obstructions.

I wanted to add Asus mesh as main router as the interface looks like a regular router interface with all kinds of options/settings and other units as AP. Not having a traffic/bandwidth monitor in Tp link is an annoyance but i was not sure if mixing Asus + Deco mesh would even work. Although ASUS might be expensive for 2 or 3 units.

TIA
yeah you technically can use the Deco's just as APs in bridge mode (you change Operation Mode from Wi-Fi Router to Access Point). You then control all stuff from the primary router. I mean, unless you already have those Asus routers, you're just greatly increasing your cost and complicating things much more. I would look into another system if you want more granular information and/or settings.

How basic are the free parental controls? I'd like to put kids' devices on a schedule for Wifi access. Is that included free?
I think basic scheduling is included. But, if you want different schedule for different days, it is behind paywall now

Thanks! My older TP-LINK router allows different schedules on weekdays vs. weekends. Same schedule daily is not ideal but acceptable also.

These are definitely worth the upgrade. Simple on the advanced options, but if you want a no frills good mesh system, this is it. Went from the Deco M5 to these and in the furthest part of the house, I went from 80-120Mbps to 500-600Mbps. Was waiting to upgrade my old Decos for a while, I didn't think that I needed to upgrade, but I'm glad that I moved up to these.

I have the prev non-e version of this product I purchased from Costco last year:

TP-Link Deco Wi-Fi 6 Tri-Band Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi System, 3-Pack (ax3600)

Any easy way to update the mesh network? I was thinking off adding the new nodes from the new axe5300 system and then deleting the old ones (ax3600) and then physically taking the old ones off line. Not sure if I'm going to run into any issues.

Premium Parental controls features still behind a paywall I'm assuming.

I don't think it's worth updating to the 6e version unless you have any 6e devices given how new your current system is. By the time more 6e devices are common, there will be better versions of the deco out or it will be cheaper.

Otherwise, you would just replace all the access points and just name the WiFi the same as you currently have with the same password and all your current devices will reconnect without issue

TP-Link... Chinese company.... If there is one thing the BRIC countries have shown us in the last few years, is that they are unreliable partners who will take advantage of you, and stab you in the back when they get the upper hand.
Quite disappointing tbh, so much for global unity and trust.
To stand correct and excuse you, it is a Taiwanese company.

Asus is a Taiwanese company. TP-Link is a Chinese company.

I have around 50 devices connected on AT&T 1 gigabit Fiber plan. In the four months that I owned this, I haven't had to reset the AXE5300 once. The only time it reset was after a firmware update sometime in April I believe.
So you have one of the nodes connected to one of the lan port on the att modem/router then wired the rest of the nodes to the one that connected to the modem as wired backhaul? I have the same internet plan. Currently using two separate routers. Thinking to go with this mesh system.

I have an M5 as the main node to retain the parental control and have 2 M5 and 3 ax3600 as nodes because the ax3600 parental controls are a downgrade vs the M5 included parental controls.

As I have a lot of Cat6 outlets in the house, I have a 2.5gbps switch directly to the AT&T Fiber BGW320 modem (connected to the 5gbps port). The master node is connected to the switch and the two slave nodes are connected to the master node ethernet ports. If I ever decide to get more slave nodes I think I need another switch to connect to the master node if I want to run ethernet backhaul to them since each node only has 3 ethernet ports.

Did anyone notice on the Costco flyer for this item that it says "includes HomeShield Total Security"? I would upload a photo of it, but I don't see an option to do so.

Has Costco ever sold these Deco products with a free subscription memberships bundled in?

It's in the OP, but here is a clearer one from their site. Looking at TP-Link site [tp-link.com] though , they offer both a Basic and Pro version of the HomeShield. The Basic is free, so might be the Basic. But Costco doesn't specify either way.
I do know with Ring Products, they used to give a year free of Ring subscription bundled in.
