	Wi-Fi routers are supposed to fade into the background, but they often can’t help but stand out with designs that don’t fit well in the home. Google’s systems have been a great option for a good-looking, but still capable mesh Wi-Fi system, but the latest Nest Wifi Pro is also pretty pricey. Over the past few months, I’ve been testing the TP-Link Deco which is a semi-stylish, very capable, and much more affordable alternative to Google’s Nest Wifi Pro.

	Google’s Nest Wifi Pro is a stellar product and one that’s still a leading option among home networking gear. As with anything, though, a new generation is always in the pipeline, but a new icon for the “Nest Wifi Pro 2” isn’t what it seems.

	Google’s Nest Wifi Pro brings Wi-Fi 6E in a fairly affordable package that also fits well into the home. But now, TP-Link is offering a competitor in the Deco X55 Pro that’s fairly priced, well equipped and also has good looks.

	I’ve been all-in on Google’s smart home ecosystem for the past several years, but with the soft reboot in 2021, things started falling apart, and frankly, I was getting tired of it. Over the past couple of months, I’ve been prepared to throw out my entire Nest ecosystem and move on to something else. But with new hardware and a revamped app that shows the company is actually listening to customers, Google just earned a second chance.
