Model: Deco BE65   Deco BE85  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi,

 

Currently I'm running mesh consist of BE85 & BE65. They have many features such as WiFi 7, guest, IoT network, etc.

 

If I were to add smaller deco that doesn't have WiFi 7 such as Deco X20 as satellite, would I degrade/disable some features of my current BE mesh?

 

Or it's just that at the location of X20 IoT WiFi and WiFi 7 is not available.

 

Many thanks,

9ux

Hi, It might depend on the purchased hardware version of the Deco X20.

Do you have any advanced features in mind that you don't want to lose after adding the Deco X20?

Compared with Deco X20, maybe Deco X50 would be a better option.

Thank you very much and best regards.

Hi @David-TP,

 

I check the specs. The X20/X50 has IoT and other features that BE* series has. Only the difference is 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E / 7 is missing in X20/X50.

 

If I were to add X20/X50 to the current BE* mesh. Will I loose 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E/7 features?

 

Best regards,
9ux
