TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro AXE5400 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System - 1-Pack

Our house is approx 20m from end to end and solid walled throughout. As the phone line enters at one end I'd previously used a system of a router at one end of the house, powerline adapters, a wifi access point at the other end of the house and a wifi repeater or two. This 3 pack has replaced all that, giving much faster speeds and removing the need to swap wifi networks when moving around the house. I'd read up about the benefits of a dedicated backhaul channel and this system is easily up to WFH, online gaming and streaming at the same time. Setup out of the box just worked and after 5 mins it figured out the location of the units and how to chain them togwther for best signal coverage. The app control is good but at the same time its a bit simplistic compared to ... MoreOur house is approx 20m from end to end and solid walled throughout.

The app control is good but at the same time its a bit simplistic compared to some aftermarket router interfaces I've seen previously so maybe look elsewhere if you need access to advanced options.

The devices themselves are pretty impressive and have both great range and high throughout (even through multiple walls and floors). Unfortunately the system is plagued by incredibly frequent drops in connectivity, both between Deco units and between AP and client. The issue seems to have gotten even worse with the latest firmware update - at this point i can't go 5 minutes without losing connection when streaming from any device in the house, even a tv located a handful of feet from the base unit. I've been recording telemetry from my modem and none of the drops are related to service disruptions at my ISP and are strictly related to issues with the Deco system. Even the Deco app shows zero problems with interference or band congestion after using the network ... MoreThe devices themselves are pretty impressive and have both great range and high throughout (even through multiple walls and floors).

Even the Deco app shows zero problems with interference or band congestion after using the network analyzer tool several times. It's just a faulty system.

I bought this unit only to be disappointed with its performance despite online paid reviewers giving it glowing remarks.I only have 48 devices connected to it and yet I have devices dropping connection when only 10ft away with no walls in-between and clear line of sight.I have to reboot the router each time before it works again.The software features are bare bones. Worse than the older cheaper models on routers and even less than the free one from Telus. You can't even block IP addresses from internet or assign static IP. You can only do ip reservation.There is no mesh speed test.Next time I'm going with a dream machine instead.
