My current home also using archer series for a few years already, satisfy with it.
I read BE800 doesn’t support wired backhaul for now, any solution if I want to put my main at home office, then extend to other 2 location, tv console and first floor?
The only way I can think off, just set the router to AP mode under the operation mode, then hardwire it with ethernet, set the SSID and security protocol to the same as the main, should be working but don't expect full roaming capabilities.

IMHO the Deco series is better as almost all the features for Archer series are available on Deco.
The roaming of Deco mesh is just so much better than EasyMesh. It has better roaming algorithm, TP-Link says it's AI powered but IMO it's just some really well tuned algorithm.
802.11r fast roaming is available exclusively on Deco series as well.
DNS over HTTP has been requested for the Deco series.
Many have been requesting Tp-Link to allow web management control, but up to date still no news on this feature.
Fyi, I am currently running 2 X50's and 1 X20. Whenever I turn on the fast roaming feature, one of my phone cannot register to X20 node whenever I'm near it. Other devices such as iPhone or Samsung no issues.
And surprisingly, once turned off roaming, all phones and my phone is able to roam seamlessly and register to any of the nodes in my house.
Despite updating the firmware and rolling back to previous, and even hard reset. Still same issue when roaming is turned on.
But yes, the roaming of Deco Mesh is great when it works. just lacking true updates as compared to Asus, and Asus product cost a bomb.
