I think that’ll work, Brent, though I haven’t tried the combo. Check out the review of the BE800 for more.

I’m considering getting a 2 pack of the new Deco 63 BE10000 because of the 4×2.5 ethernet ports. I would then get a 2 pack of the Deco XE75 Pro to complete my system. Everything is set up for ethernet connections. How do you think it would work well if I have my modem hooked into a BE10000 and then I would connect the other 3 units from the first BE10000. I have gig+ internet speeds and I was hoping to pass that speed to all of the units. Thanks for any help, information, or suggestions!

Nope. It’d be a pain to move from Asus to Deco in user experience.

Thank you for your reply. presently both of these options are $199 at Amazon. The ET8 system is significantly more expensive still. does this fact change your opinion?

In your case, Nate, if go with an Asus. Get the ZenWifi ET8 if you want Wi-Fi 6e. Good luck!

I have been researching for several weeks, for a new WiFi mesh system to replace my aging ASUS RT-AC68U, using your fantastic reviews. Right now, I’m torn between using this XE75 system and ASUS’s XD5. I would be using wired backhaul. I need parental controls and am familiar with what ASUS offers in this realm with my current setup but understand I may have to subscribe to TP-Link’s to get what I want. Looking for feedback on this predicament.

Yeah I gathered based on your other reviews and considered the X55. Feels like we are at a weird time for buying gear, with 6E as a short layover en route to 10G / Wi-Fi 7. Thinking the XE75 Pro will be fine for a while. Would greatly prefer an AP system but this isn’t my forever home 🙂

Using MoCA 2.5 for wired backhaul anyway, so there’s that bottleneck to deal with as well…

I think the X55 Pro is better than the XE75 on the Multi-Gig front since it has two 2.5Gbps ports — assuming you use wired backhauling. Neither can deliver 10Gbps — but none can as described in this post. If you use the hardware in a wireless setup, generally, you’ll only get sub Gigabit sustained speed. More here.

But for now, the XE75 Pro should work well, it will not be much better than the non-Pro version though, other than than the fact it can *get* your Gigabit connection in full.

I picked up a 2-pack of the XE75 Pro on Prime day for a great deal, even though I “only” have a 1G fiber connection. My provider *says* they will offer multi-gig and possibly 10G service in the next 1-2 years.

Question that isn’t quite answered here: If/when multi-gig (or 10G) comes, can I add a “cheap” multi-gig router (like the X55) that has two 2.5G ports to take advantage of multi-gig speeds?

If the price is the same, I’d go with the Pro for sure, M. Generally, Pro is a bit better, especially when it has two Multi-Gig port like the case of the X55 Pro.
