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.
Example zip codes from various states:
11590 (NY)
22192 (VA)
30260 (GA)
32837 (FL)
60440 (IL)
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.

Was it bought thru Costco Same Day a.k.a. Instacart for ~58?

I am sure people who bought multiples will see this as a money making opportunity and return to Costco. Costco asks for the Membership card when processing returns and should be able to see the ~58 price on the Instacart (same Day) order but it's nice of them to return ~119.

I am aware of being able to see the Instacart shopper's purchase receipt in the Costco mobile app and that is the ~119 price.

Did you ask for return as Cash or did you put it on a Costco cashcard (Gift Card/Merchandise credit), because you do not want the refund(return) amount to go back onto the Instacart shopper's card?

THANK YOU!

Yes, the item was bought using costco same day (instacart). They asked for a card to place the refund to. There is a pending amount from costco on that card.

Same exact thing for me. I went to store with items unopened, they scanned my receipt from my app, scanned the barcode and got $119.97 each x2 plus tax refunded. Put it back on my debit card and it shows as pending within an hour. I picked up the same router as you from Amazon for $19.99 each 2 for me, 2 for my family. The deal breaker for me was the single Ethernet port on these. I was going to need to get a hub and adds yet another thing to my setup that I did not want. Thank you for the info and the help. Rep'd

Anyone else having trouble getting full wifi speeds out of their X5000s? I have gigabit fiber and could get ~800 mbps with my older Orbi system (2 units) before, but with this system, I've topped out at ~350 mbps on my best speed tests.

This is what the email confirmation from PayPal says: "Check out with PayPal at Instacart before September 1, 2024, 1:42 AM PDT to apply your offer. You'll earn points you can redeem for cash back and other sweet options." So it looks like points to redeem after the purchase. Cheers
Were you able to get the PayPal points after paying with Paypal on Costco Same-Day site? I just want to confirm that the Paypal cashback offer on Instacart works on Costco Same-Day. TIA for your help!
