Yes it will greatly help your wifi coverage across the house but pay attention on your placement. Always do zig-zag placement for vertical deployment ie double/triple storey houses. Don't put the mesh directly above each other on different floors or your wifi speed will suffer despite the excellent coverage. It has to be on the opposite far side of each other, far enough as long as it still get good signal from the other node/main router.
If you can do ethernet backhaul to all the nodes that's even better so it won't share the same wifi throughput for the main connection. I do ethernet backhaul to my nodes so I get full wifi speed and full lan speed on all of them but sometimes if let say node A is hogging the wifi, all the other nodes wifi even the main router's wifi lagging a bit since they all share the same channel, mine's 161. It's like the inteference you get from your neighbor when both of you share the same airwaves. With mesh setup you cannot set the wifi channels individually across all the nodes. To me wired AP backhaul still the best and you're not tied to only one brand and free to configure each AP nodes. That's just my 2 cents.
Very true I'm using my old TP LINK AX20 as AP and connect LAN via basic gigabit switch for TV Astro plug n play and PS5. Problem is Wifi took time for connect main router from AP. I want deco mesh giving great wireless for my IP camera and Air-conditioner.

If I connect 2nd node as LAN does Deco Wifi will still can be use??
