sorted byThen, although very expensive at the moment, there's Wi-Fi 6e.
So does anyone know if it would be better to wait for 6e to become mainstream and so hopefully cheaper? Wi-Fi was the same for years wasn't it? So why all these new versions all of a sudden? Are there going to be even newer systems in a couple of years (Wi-Fi 7)? Finding that side of things very confusing and putting me off updating my current mesh system (which is fine).
Confusion aside, from what I’ve seen this seems like a great price and my current Deco mesh system is fine and was a breeze to setup with the app. It’s been reliable and is easy to maintain/update so I’d recommend the brand at least.
Each new specification brings performance gains as well as other benefits. So far all Wi-Fi 6 and below specifications work either on the 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz channel or can use both in the case of Wi-Fi 4 and 6 (Not Wi-Fi 5)
Wi-Fi 6E is the only specification that uses a 6Ghz band which should provide greater speeds but also with greater bandwidth comes a shorter theoretical distance. You may notice now your router at home you will receive a 2.4Ghz signal further than the 5Ghz signal and your phone may end up connecting to the 2.4Ghz network once you reach further from your router. So 6Ghz does not travel as far.
Wi-Fi 7 is due 2024 and will work on all bands so 2.4,5 and 6 Ghz.
Tbh if your equipment is working for you ok now then there's no reason to upgrade. Your devices can only connect to the router/mesh at that Wi-Fi protocol that they have been manufactured with. This mesh system may provide you with a better signal around the house so you eliminate dead spots and give you a better signal with a higher speed which will be useful if you have FTTP internet for example.
Will Mesh benefit me in my home?
Spec seems identical & per unit price is similar

how do you know?
The Linksys Velop router from CF by comparison has been temperamental to connect to for management access, the app is awful and unintuitive, and the interoperation with the Deco mesh is totally nonexistent (although to be fair this problem afflicts all vendors because that's how you sell more mesh nodes 🤦🏻♂️).
For those reasons I am going to stick with Deco even though mine are WiFi 5, and gradually upgrade my units piecemeal. If anyone is in the market for an open-box but otherwise unused Velop MX4200 then DM me!
