Should I Buy the TP-Link Deco X55 or eero 6+?

For most homes, the TP-Link Deco X55 is the better overall value because it gives you more Ethernet flexibility and is easier to live with if you want wired connections at the mesh nodes. The Amazon eero 6+ is the better pick if you want the simplest setup and you already like the eero/Alexa ecosystem.

Quick take

• Pick the Deco X55 if you want three Gigabit Ethernet ports per node, which is great for plugging in a TV, console, desktop, or switch without adding extra hardware. It also gives you more room to work with if you prefer more hands-on local management.
• Pick the eero 6+ if you want a small, very easy-to-manage mesh system with strong app-based setup and if Amazon ecosystem integration matters to you. It has two Ethernet ports per node.

Specs to keep in mind

• Deco X55: AX3000 Wi‑Fi 6, 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports per node
• eero 6+: AX3000 Wi‑Fi 6, 2 Ethernet ports per node

My recommendation

If you care most about value and connectivity, buy the Deco X55. If you care most about simplicity and a polished app experience, buy the eero 6+.

Optional subscriptions can unlock extra parental controls and security features on both platforms, so factor that in if you want those extras. Also, if the eero 6+ smart-home hub feature matters to you, verify the exact current model/specs on Amazon before buying, since included features can vary by region or listing.
