Archer doesn't mesh with Deco
TP-Link has their "OneMesh" thing which meshes with their repeaters
Deco is its own thing

M4/E4 is the lowest tier Deco and will significantly penaltize your speed if you use them wirelessly
They're also using older WiFi 5 and not WiFi 6
If you use an ethernet cable to connect to them from your router, then it's ok as an access point

E4 max is 100Mbps don't even bother with it
Wireless meshing might be better but it's just not good

I never recommend mixing router + deco
You can delete the Archer and connect Deco directly to modem, so only 1 WiFi and 1 unified mesh network
But M4 is old and slow
If it was the newer ones like X50 then sure

Anyways, cheapest option right now if you don't want too much hassle is to get their OneMesh repeater nodes to build a OneMesh network

Look at
RE505X/RE605X/RE705X
And connect it up to your ax73 wirelessly or wired if possible for best results
Simplest option

Thanks a lot. But any of the RE will create another SSID isn’t it?

If you have the option, you can opt for backhaul setup. This way you will have more coverage with less mesh unit. If you can hide the cables or accept cables hanging out around your house.

Tumpang tanya here,
I have prepared the CAT 6 LAN cable from house A to house B
House A is the main point (Maxis 500mbps) with stock ONU modem + MAxis router
House B I used back the old Unifi router

Both are side by side divided by a wall
Can I know what are the settings for routers for house A and B?
I tried using the old UNIFI router at house B but it seem unsuccessful
Hope sifu here can help

Hi all,

My Kitchen coverage is quite bad. Thinking of setting up a mesh. Can you advise based on below?

-router : TP Link Archer AX73
-UniFi 500Mbps
I just want better coverage in my Kitchen and questions below :

1) if I use TP Link Deco M4, do I need 2 units or 1 unit is sufficient?

2) any other compatible Mesh that is not too expensive that can also be Used?
Thanks in advance

Simple.

U can use the Deco M4 but the primary unit must have a wired connection to the main router for stability. Once done, the secondary units can be wireless.

I'm also using the Deco M4. The primary unit is set as wireless AP and connected to the ISP router via wired. The secondary unit is in the guest bedroom connected wirelessly. In doing so. The connection is quite stable.

wireless mesh works best with tri band routers as it has dedicated backhaul band.

if using LAN backhaul, it doesn't matter.
