Model: Deco X20  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.2.2 Build 20241009 Rel. 76236

I am the owner of Deco x20 which is a WIFI 6 device and it is working great. it has a version v3.8 and is an Indian version. The product works great and I have a 2 device of the same model.

I want two more Decos and recently tp link has released Deco BE25 in my region which is a WIFI 7 device.

 

Please answer me few question before I buy Deco BE25 device.

 

1- I want to know will I be able to use the Deco BE25 with Deco X20 without any issue? 

2- How would MLO or any other WIFI 7 feature gonna work (of BE25 Deco) in conjunction with Deco x20 devices with Wifi 6 features?

3- Would there be any compatibility issue or not ?

4- Also which wifi security shall I use WPA3 or WPA2/3 to use with both wifi 6 and wifi 7 device ?

5- How would the speed variate between these two different decos ?    my internet speed is 300mbps.  up and down.

6- I want to use all the decos in AP mode so would any Wifi 7 feature going to clash with any Wifi 6 feature ?

 

also please give me any further advice, whether I should combine these two decos of different wifi generations or not ?

 

Thankyou

Hi, Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Deco BE25 will work well with Deco X20. There wouldn't be any compatibility issue

The MLO network and other WiFi 7 features will still be supported when devices are connected to Deco BE25.

Both Deco BE25 and Deco X20 support WPA3 Security.

Access Point mode would make it easier than Wireless Router mode since many advanced NAT/DHCP-related features are no longer supported in AP mode

 

Do you already have any 6GHz or WiFi 7 devices?

If not, I think the WiFi7 potential of Deco BE25 can't be fully made use of when the overall bandwidth is 300Mbps. Compared with BE25, Deco X50 might be a better option.

Best regards.
