TP-Link Archer AXE75 vs TP-Link Deco XE5300

The TP-Link Archer AXE75 and TP-Link Deco XE5300 are tri-band Wi-Fi 6E routers with DFS support. The main difference is their usage for mesh networks. Whereas the XE5300 comes as a three-pack for use in a mesh network, the AXE75 is sold as a standalone router but is configurable with other OneMesh-compatible devices for use in a mesh network. As a result, the XE5300 delivers more consistent and higher speeds over a longer range, making it ideal for larger multi-floor homes. By contrast, for people who live in a small apartment or condo, the AXE75's standalone configuration delivers comparable short-range performance to the XE5300.
