Connection to over 150 devices is based on laboratory test data, which analyzed the connections of different devices on the 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of internet service provider factors, network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location. Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, internet service provider factors, and other environmental conditions. △Use of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 4K-QAM, Multi-RUs, OFDMA, MU-MIMO and BSS Color requires clients to also support the corresponding features. ‡Clients need to support 802.11k/v/r and may require additional setup. Performance may vary depending on the client device. Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, internet service provider factors, and other environmental conditions. |

It's only dual-band, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, no 6GHz band in many WiFi 7 devices
Gigabit ports are 1G, so even though the WiFi can support higher connectivity, it will be bottlenecked by the 1G connection at the source. Not an issue if your internet is 1G or lower
It's dualband, so no dedicated backhaul for mesh, so unless you're hardwiring all 3 units, expect it to impact max wireless speeds
That being said, it's a WiFi 7 device, so there's still plenty of functionality that you'll be getting like MLO, which could help with #3. It's also got plenty of features like VPN Parental Controls and Security Protection for free, though they have more advanced options for a fee. A lot of other companies are starting to charge for this, so good to see TP-Link still offering free options.
Would I still get this? Probably, considering the price, but at least I'm aware of the limitations and can make adjustments (e.g., using it hardwired vs. backhaul)

Sad day when it happens. The Deco system in my parents home has been bulletproof for the past 5 years. Recommended it to a couple other people who have no complaints. I've only restarted the actual mesh points maybe 3-4 times for them. Get full 300MB speeds via Ethernet backhaul. Their smart home stuff is also crazy reliable putting them just ahead of Eufy.
The amplifi router before this was horrendous. Before that Apple made their AirPort Extreme obsolete. Any ideas on a reliable brand that has decent service (tried Google, Netgear, Asus) but something or another breaks. I have Eero Pro 6E at my home and one of the mesh points has power failed.
Any future recommendations?

LoL!
Do you trust your government?
They even cannot figure out the drones flying in NJ/NY every night!
