Oh, neat, Iâm actually looking into getting a mesh setup at the new house. I settled on TP-Link Deco XE75 Pros. Way overkill for my shitty FTTC connection, but they seem like a decent enough option for my future proofing wishes
Fair warning, if you look on Reddit, literally no brand is good enough for anyone, and theyâll recommend Uniquiti/Cisco corporate grade equipment. Personally, I am only considering TP-Link or Netgear. However, Asus or Amazon Eero also seem like options worth looking at.
Iâm avoiding Asus because I bought one of their routers and have had nonstop bad experiences with it. Netgear is on the pricier side and has a few less features at the price point, and apparently has gone down the drain (although my only experience with them was with a NetGear NightHawk 4G router which was amazing, but pricey).
I think TP-Link strikes a good balance of price, and feature set, at the cost of reliability and customer service. Amazons Eero devices seem fine, I am envisioning theyâre somewhat similar to iPhones - less feature rich, a bit pricier, but more intuitive to setup, and less prone to breaking. But itâs Amazon, and some core features are locked behind a paywall
Iâve not got any experience with Google Mesh, and didnât even realise they offered mesh, so canât offer any feedback about it. But I do own a google pixel and have loved it, do kind of assume their mesh would be similar
Personally, I like value for money, and donât mind having to fix things every time they break, including with hours of technical tinkering and research if needed, hence why I think TP is the best for my needs.
TL;DR: For you, Iâd probably go with Google. Just know that it will probably offer less features, as youâre likely going to pay for the brand name and all the little things and general user experience/ease of use. But thatâs my biased, subjective, opinion based on my other experiences with Google

Thanks for the detailed answer. I think itâs between TpLink and Google, and also my bank account.
