Coincidentally, I installed a Deco mesh system (PX50) this week as well. It replaced a gen 1 version of Google Mesh router that was at least 5 yrs old. Replacing the old Google Mesh with the new Deco more than doubled my download speed. I use T-Mobile's cellular network to get high speed Internet in my part of western NC. Depending on the time of day, my download ranges between 125 Mbps to over 300 Mbps. Before switching to cellular about a year ago, DSL was the only other option at my location. It was pitifully slow ... 3 -5 Mbps. Summary: In some remote areas, accessing the Internet through the cellular system is a viable option and the Deco PX50 router is almost as good as a direct ethernet connection.
The Deco xe75 I got has truly been a huge difference. Just did a test and got 750 Mbps, which is full speed of what I'm paying here (I can often get there with the new M3 laptop on the 6 GHz network). On my phone current results on the 5 GHz network are a bit lower (maybe around 350 Mbps, sometimes around 400 Mbps), but still a huge improvement over what I had before. After setting these up I felt a bit stupid, all these past years I was paying for higher speeds from my Internet provider but the bottleneck was on my old modem. Thanks for the tip on the cellular network!
