The TPs don't have the manual setting either but do have a network optimization button to try and scan the airways and adjust. No option on eero 6 since it's supposed to be smart enough to do on its own. Additionally, TP is starting to add the manual option to some of their routers.
Another deciding factor for me was that these TP have 6ghz channel for the back channel if you intend to have them connect via wifi.
They've been great for my use case. It's an out of box solution for average customers

Also if the US was still serious about this they would not be offering their products on military bases, not to mention TP-Link just got accepted into CISA Secure. So yeah good to be really informed instead of just parroting uninformed articles or out of date articles.
They all work in bridge mode for normal mesh wifi operation. But there is a toggle setting that allows you to create another network SSID to use for IoT device's.
This network doesn't work and is unreliable. It constantly drops the connection and the speed is about 5Mbps when connected.
I have isolated and verified this problem by isolating the network SSID and only connecting my cellphone to it. I also removed all M9 plus decos since it doesn't support IoT network and the problem remains.
It sucks because I have bought the outdoor unit x50 and can't use it for my needs. Now of course I can just name the main SSID to what my IoT device's use and it would work but that's not the feature I that I was looking for and wanted a segregated IoT network.

Now please, before you parrot useless and out of date information, make sure your still current before you chime in with almost two year old information.

Also some of the TP-Link models allow you to create up to 2 guest networks so another possible solution.

"TP-Link was split into two entities, one based in the US and one based in China, Bloomberg wrote, but the "US-based entity being scrutinized by Justice and Commerce Department officials still has substantial operations in mainland China." Another Bloomberg article earlier this month described how TP-Link still has a sizable presence in China."
I hate to have to setup every device individually all over again.

Overall I have not had any other issues (well, one of my Ethernet port on one of the device stopped working...haha).
