So I've been using this pairing of these Deco and my Edgerouter ER4 for the past week and it's been glorious. The ER4 does the router function, and the Deco is just an AP. Range and throughout is much higher than the Orbi RBK53 I just replaced. Excellent stuff.
Do I need a router as well? Or 3 of these would do? Thanks

Hey fam, I need help.
I recently upgraded to gigabit fiber from AT&T. Hardwired, I am pulling 1gig down and 1gig up. From AT&T's modem/router combo (Nokia), I can pull about 600Mbps and 7ms ping near the modem, but this degrades quickly. I purchased and set up the TP-Link Deco X60 Wi-Fi 6 AX3000; I don't lose connection now, but the speed and ping are very lacking imo (between 200 and 400Mbps and 10 and 30ms). I shut the 2.4 and 5ghz bands off of the Nokia to no avail.
Would this Mesh product improve the speed and ping?

Looks like you have your setup figured out. Just wondering, because I have similar setup, what are you using for home automation? I am still on SmartThings (which allows me to get myQ garage door working with Google), lots of Eufy stuff... I have pi-hole running in docker and was thinking about adding firewalla as well.

I'll be honest, I still run wifi on eero6, because it's been stable, I have reliable ZigBee connections and about 70% of max. Speeds around the house. This TP link does not seem to be a step up, right? I will be better with firewalla...
you have Eero 6 and are getting 70% max speed of wifi? i'm getting less than 1/3 of 1 gig service

These units have auto sensing wan/lan which can be a big problem if you directly connect to fiber internet. I purchased the units a few months ago when I had cable internet (with modem) and after the fiber install had lots of problems. The router initially hooked up fine but if there is any issue the auto sensing wan/lan port will often select the cat5 connection to the satellite as the fiber connection and the whole system goes down. You then have to reset everything. After lengthy conversations with both my fiber provider and tp-link I have found there is no way around this (can't select one port as the wan/lan). It is a known issue by tp-link and no current plan to fix. Again, worked very well with modem but you will have problems over time with direct connection. Tp-links solution was to add another router before this unit with dedicated wan/lan port but this is unacceptable as I would have to purchase an additional router and then many of the features of the mesh do not work properly. Here is a link about this issue:

I can't recommend tp-link routers if you have a direct connection to fiber, you will have issues over time. On the upside, Costco had no problem with my return.

I read somewhere saying this not good for gigabit hardwire. Is that true?

Absolutely. Look at my post above, you will have problems with gigabit hardwire over time due to the auto sensing and there is no plan in place to fix the problem.

I have this and can confirm there is no Homeshield Total Security bundled with it. You've got to pay for it and pay through the nose
Yes - very disappointed about homeshield. I upgraded from Deco x60 to this and several features that were working fine in x60 are crippled/held back e.g. inability to set time in parental controls differently by day (quite important to distinguish weekday versus weekend), several reports, history etc. Asking for $5.99 for what was mostly free previously has just left a bad taste in my mouth. Thinking of returning it and going back to the x60.

I just bought this several days ago and upon final setup, it indicated a new firmware update. Updated fine. Bypassed the Centurylink modem/router and hooked the Deco directly to the fiber converter box. Works great and is speedy. One thing I noticed immediately was connection to my Ring doorbell pro alerted me much, much faster with the new Deco setup.
Who is your isp?

So how does TP Link implement Wi-Fi 6E? Because Wi-Fi 6E requires wpa3, and most devices don't support that. So it must have to be its own wireless network right?

You definitely can, that's what I do (I have the X60 which is dual-band but I use wired backhaul so it doesn't matter).
