Mixing Wifi 6 and 6E Deco routers

Hi
I have 3 Deco XE75 Pro with Wifi 6E in my network, I need to add 2 more access points so am thinking to get a cheaper Wifi 6 Deco. Unless anyone knows of reasonably priced 6E Decos.
Currently i use the 6GHz channel as connection bn the routers. If i add a Wifi 6 router then I would probably have to downgrade the mesh to 2.4 or 5. What would anyone advise.
I guess if i keep 6GHz open for device connection on the XE75 i get fast local access but how slow will backhaul be on 2.4
Any ideas appreciated
thanks
Hi,
Take Deco X50 for example, when Deco X50 is wirelessly connected to Deco XE75 PRO, The Mesh Backhaul would be 2.4GHz/5GHz only. The overall Backhaul link speed would be capped at Deco X50/AX3000.
Is there any chance that you could connect these 2 more APs via Ethernet cables to the nearby Deco XE75 PRO, such as:
Thank you very much and best regards.
