How to choose
Match coverage to your home
Coverage is the maker's own figure, so compare it against your home's floor area before choosing. The Orbi is rated for up to 8,000 sq ft, the Deco X55 for up to 6,500 sq ft, and the eero 6+ for up to 4,500 sq ft. A rating above your floor area leaves room for walls and distance between units, while a rating below it leaves weak spots at the edges.
WiFi standard and device count
WiFi 7 delivers faster speeds than WiFi 6, and only the Orbi in this list uses WiFi 7. Device count matters just as much in a large home: the Deco X55 connects up to 150 devices, the Orbi covers 100 devices, and the eero 6+ connects 75+ devices. Match both figures to the number of phones, laptops, and smart home devices on your network.
Ports, backhaul and control
Wired backhaul links units over Ethernet instead of WiFi, which keeps speeds up across a large home. The Deco X55 supports wired Ethernet backhaul and gives each unit 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports, while the Orbi uses enhanced backhaul and a 2.5 Gig internet port.
