Which one should you buy?
For most Australian households the TP-Link Deco X55 (3-Pack) is the right buy. WiFi 6 with AX3000 dual band is enough headroom for every common AU NBN tier (50/100/250) without overspending on WiFi 7 you can't use, and the three nodes cover a typical 3 bedroom home.
If your home runs significant smart home gear (Nest cameras, a Nest doorbell, Chromecasts, Nest Audio speakers), the Google Nest WiFi Pro (3-Pack) is the upgrade. It adds WiFi 6E, the Google Home app handles guest WiFi and device controls in a couple of taps, and it works as a Google smart home hub. Pay the extra only if your smart home device count is over 10.
The TP-Link Deco M4 (3-Pack) is the rental and small apartment pick. WiFi 5 AC1200 is plenty for NBN 50/100, and three nodes cover a 2 bedroom apartment. For faster plans, compare expected speeds at the satellite nodes before buying, because actual throughput depends on your devices, placement and backhaul.
One honest limitation: none of these three is WiFi 7. If you're on NBN 1000+ Hyperfast or building a network for the next 5 years, the separate WiFi 7 picks (NETGEAR Orbi 770 and TP-Link Deco BE65) are the right buys, covered in the body of the full article above.
