The Deco is dual band, while the Linksys is tri band. The Deco doesn't have a USB port for NAS, while the Linksys does. The Deco supports mesh. On paper, the Linksys doesn't support mesh but I've seen people having success using it as mesh (https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=172279275&postcount=80), and I assume future OpenWRT support will provide mesh.

The Deco supports a higher theoretical max speed on the 5ghz band but I doubt you will be able to get that, and it depends on the ability of your receiver. Plus, operating in mesh mode will reduce speeds since each satellite node needs to dedicate time to communication with other nodes. In a tri band setup like with the Linksys this is less of an issue since you can dedicate one 5ghz radio to that node to node communication.

The Linksys also has a large amount of RAM and storage since it was designed for enterprise. I'm doubtful the Deco is so powerful.

One unknown is actual radio performance per router. However given that the original retail price of a single one of the Linksys routers is the same as 3x of the Decos, I'm gonna guess that the Linksys is probably better.

Finally, obviously the Decos don't have any custom firmware development.

So, aside from official mesh support, I think the Linksys is probably the better choice. If OpenWRT or DD-WRT matures for the Linksys, it will be an even better deal.

78759 (TX)
80918 (CO)
85032 (AZ)
Your Xfinity modem/router would be put into bridge mode to disable its router from NAT duty. Then either use your existing router and put these mesh nodes in access point mode. Or, remove the netgear router and connect these mesh nodes in router mode to your bridged modem.

The link works here in Colorado, but I've found an improvement switching from an older TP Link Deco mesh to a single, more powerful router.
