Story Deco X50-5G or Archer NX200
As Mobile service providers continue to roll out the 5G network, upgrading from traditional LTE routers to the latest 5G Technology is becoming increasingly unavoidable. To fully utilize the high-speed capabilities of 5G, how can users identify the ideal 5G router that aligns with their home network requirements?
There are two major 5G router branches:

Deco X50-5G (AX3000) | The main difference is in the wireless specifications and the software features currently supported. For a comprehensive comparison, kindly refer to the specifications. |
Archer NX200 (AX1800) |
| Deco X80-5G (AX6000) | |||
| Wi-Fi 7 | Deco BE65-5G (BE9300) | / |

How to find which one is a better fit?
Identify the essential factors that need to be met in addition to supporting 5G mobile service.
- Prefer web management or APP control?
If you are frequently web management users, Archer NX200 should be your first choice.
- Already have some Deco units or EasyMesh extenders?
Currently, Deco routers are unable to establish a Mesh system with EasyMesh devices. Therefore, if you already have other Deco Mesh units, Deco X50-5G would be the preferable choice; otherwise, consider Archer NX200.
- Need a specific advanced software feature?
If you want separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz, Archer NX200 will be better.
Or Trying to establish a Mesh system via Wi-Fi / Ethernet Backhaul, Deco X50-5G will be an excellent choice for Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi.
