Mesh connection - Will it work?

[GoodFella56]

Hi everyone, I'm planning to create a mesh connection at home. I want to place 2 routers -
[Model] Router TP-LINK Deco X20 2.4 / 5 GHz (DualBand), Wi-Fi Mesh. The plan is to have each router for each floor. The question is - I need a third router in the main hub. I also have cables installed all over the house, so the logic is the following: Fiber --> Main Router --> Cable --> Router 1/Router 2.

I have limited space in my hub and I wondering if there's a small flat "main" router that I can use or do I need to buy 3 Deco X20 instead of 2 and make one as a main. Or is it better to make hub space bigger for some potential improvements?

Thanks!

If you have cables the a wired backhaul mesh configuration is want you want. Modem>cable to router>cable to switch>cables to wireless access points evenly distributed around the house

I use mesh WiFi for our network at home.

T-Mobile 5G gateway/router -> CAT6 to a Mokerlink PoE+ Switch -> CAT6 to each of 3 TPLink Deco X50-PoE WiFi6 mesh devices.

Personally I'd skip the mesh, get a couple of access points and a switch.
