TP-Link Deco is one of the highly rated Mesh systems for home in 2020 without breaking your bank.

All Deco series are compatible with one another, you just need to make sure you are using the highest specs node as your main node for maximum performance. For those interested, it supports Alexa integration. Wi-Fi 6 ones (X20 & X60) come with WPA3, other use WPA2 encryption.

  Such a great unit. I got on the original TGGC deal a few months back and couldn’t be happier

      Same. My only question is would the M5s have been good enough?

        I went for the M9 as it's got dedicated wireless backhaul.

          @mandelbrot: Do you mean wired backhaul? By definition mesh is wireless backhaul. The wired backhaul speeds things up as varying versions of mesh will either use one whole channel (2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz) just for backhaul, or will use about half your wireless bandwidth. This would affect tri-band routers less as they dedicate one of three bands, leaving 2 free for clients. As most mesh implementations are proprietary, manufacturers do things differently, but either way wired backhaul is better.

            @rygle: The M9 has a dedicated channel for the backhaul. You can also connect it up for wired backhaul.

              @mandelbrot: A dedicated channel for backhaul is probably a tri-band router.

  Are there any wifi 6 routers that have the wireless backhaul?

  Sorry to be such a NOOB, I have Ethernet ports in my house but looking to have better wireless coverage. I can't seem to tell if it's better to use products like this with wireless backhaul or have independent hot spots? Any advise appreciated!

    If you already have wiring and a few routers, just put the routers at different spots, up high is preferable, set them to auto channel selection, or pick widely differing channels manually (like 1 & 11 for 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz doesn't matter as much but different is better). Then make sure three things are the same on all routers - 1. WiFi name (SSID) including both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, 2. password, and 3. security protocol (WPA2-PSK is best, WPA3 is coming in on some routers but not supported by many clients yet).

    If you see a setting for bandwidth steering, turn it on for all channels, as this will attempt to push clients to the channel with the strongest signal. If you see settings for 802.11r, 802.11k or 802.11v, also turn them on as these are similar.

      This will do lots of what mesh would without having to buy new routers.

  Something like this looks great, is there an easy way to sign up for a commercial account with TGG?
