TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 WiFi 6 Mesh System - Covers up to 4500 Sq.Ft, Replaces Wireless Router and Extender, 3 Gigabit Ports per Unit, Supports Ethernet Backhaul, Deco X55(2-Pack)

My husband spends a lot of time in the garage and recently mounted a smart tv on the wall. WiFi signal is dismal out there so the tv didn’t work most of the time. I did some research before deciding on a mesh system versus a less expensive plug in WiFi extender. Based on the performance in reviews, I believe the mesh system is worth spending a little extra for the better coverage. The hardware was fairly simple to set up, one deco is connected to the modem and the other is strategically placed in another part of the house. The app walks you through establishing the secure network. The streaming capability is improved in the rooms farther away from the router (1600 sq foot house) and into the garage and outbuilding behind the house. The garage tv works consistently with fantastic wifi signal now. I’m pleased with this system and would recommend it.

Highly recommended upgrade for those looking to increase their wireless speeds with several connected devices. I thought it wouldn't be much of an improvement over my DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem/router + Wifi extender, which appeared to be significantly throttling my bandwidth, but mesh Wifi is in fact different and more effective at extending range and providing speed consistency throughout the home. Why I purchased: I decided to try a mesh network as we were having some issues with streaming video quality, such as blurry/pixilated picture on our streaming TV, or buffering/loading on tablets or other devices playing video. A couple suspected reasons for these bandwidth issues were ethernet connected computer(s), use of a Wifi extender, and/or a Wifi security camera at the extent of the Wifi signal range that were reducing the connection quality of the other devices mentioned. Improvements after installing: One main issue I was seeing was an outdoor security camera that had a weak signal was having trouble staying connected. On my smartphone, I also had trouble staying connected to my Wifi when standing next to the camera outside. After installing this system, I have a strong signal throughout the house and near this camera, and speed tests indicate a much faster connection speed than before. There was a +50 Mbps jump in the upstairs far corner of the house. The security camera also remained connected much more reliably. I thought that it wouldn't be possible to still get a great signal across the house, figuring there was no way connecting through a satellite would provide any kind of decent speed, but it does! My understanding is that the software for this system is able to appropriately manage consistency of connections (through all connection points), so there is in fact an advanced capability over older routers to keep speeds high regardless of distance from the main router. Setup: Installing this system took less than 10 minutes to be fully up and running - very easy plug-and-play. May take 20 or 30 minutes for someone not as savvy.. but between the app and the automatic connections between the routers, it couldn't have been easier, and very difficult to mess up. Simply connect an ethernet cable from your modem to the main router (each of the 3 units is the same), connect the power cable, then download the app on your smartphone. In the app, after some brief setup steps (includes creating an account), the main step is to connect to the router through the on-screen prompts. From there, you can name your wireless network and password. Connecting the other 2 satellite routers: Place them within a reasonable distance from the main router (~20-30 feet/1-2 rooms away), then plug in to power. Wait ~2 minutes and done! The whole system was live and wirelessly connected through the main router. I couldn't believe it. In my relatively square-shaped house with the main router on one far side, I was able to place the 3 routers in a triangular pattern, where both satellites are about equal distance from the main router in the middle of the house (about 20 feet each). If your router is in the middle of your home, you may want to place the satellites at either end. I believe a daisy chain (main router at one end like I have, then 2 satellites in a line across the house) is also an option for larger, more expansive homes to maximize the range. I didn't test the daisy chain, but I'd expect diminishing speed at the far end (although one may be surprised based on my observations so far with the management of the traffic at farther distances). While at the far end of my house and running a speed test, I can't tell that I'm not connected to my main router as the speed is still very good. The daisy chain may slightly differ, but can't say for sure. 2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz networks: Wait, you don't need to set up 2 different networks?? The app basically eliminates all complexity over traditional router setup apps, making the setup choices totally accessible for anyone of any networking skill level. In the app, there is an option to broadcast 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz only, or 5 GHz only. I remained on the first option as I needed support for 2.4 GHz-only devices. Otherwise, 5 GHz would be fine and preferred for everything (supports faster speeds). Apparently, the single network name/password automatically creates a dual band setup, if choosing both. Devices that connect apparently are favored to the optimal band - frankly, I don't know the details there, but would assume 5 GHz connects first over 2.4, unless only compatible with 2.4. Refurbished vs. New: No difference here. If you want to save a little money, refurbished is a good option for you. The box came with everything in it including an ethernet cable as if it were new. As far as condition, there were a few scuffs on the units, but nothing terrible. I could almost rub off any blemishes. I'm not looking at them anyway. Overall, highly recommended for those looking to make the leap to a mesh network, or debating whether mesh is just all hype (it's not with this system).

This Deco WiFi 7 mesh system delivers excellent speed and stability. Setup was very easy through the app, and the coverage is impressive across a large space. The wired backhaul with 2.5G ports is a big plus, and performance has been consistent even with multiple devices connected. A solid upgrade if you want fast and reliable home WiFi.

I’ve been using the Deco X55 set for a few days now, and overall I’m really impressed. Setup was super simple through the app — it practically walked me through everything. The coverage is solid across my whole house (two floors plus the backyard), and devices switch between nodes smoothly without me noticing. Speeds are consistently fast, and having multiple Ethernet ports on each unit has been really convenient for my desktop and TV. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that the parental controls and some advanced settings feel a bit limited unless you subscribe, and occasionally one node needs a quick reboot. But day to day, it just works — way better than my old router/extender combo. If you’re struggling with dead zones, this is definitely worth it.

Great Wifi mesh system thats budget friendly! Set up was easy, and so far the coverage is great. I ordered this system because my older netgear nighthawk was having trouble reaching my basement where I have my PS5 set up, and although it could be connected to the wifi it struggled playing online video games were you need a high speed stable internet connection. With this Deco mesh system, I have the main unit in the living room and the satellite unit downstairs and hardwired it to my PS5, problem solved! Speed test was over 500 Mbps coming from the satellite unit! Now my 1500sqft house has great coverage all around!

It works very well. First the setup; it's really simple to do, pretty much plug and play. I was intimidated at first about setting it up, but it was really easy, just follow the app instructions as the system does all the work. I have an AT&T wifi router modem and didn’t know if this would work with it, as the router is already wifi capable, and by connecting this, is it going to cause any conflict or confusion? Absolutely not! It totally works fine with it. The system figures everything out. Just give it the time it needs to figure out connect once you plug it into your router /modem. The performance; it does everything I needed it to do as it extends my coverage and has stronger signals for my ever-growing many many wifi devices. I think I have about 30 devices that run off of wifi, LoL. I highly recommend this TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 WiFi 6 Mesh System to anyone who needs more coverage and has a lot of wifi devices.

Keeps disconnecting from the . unstable operation. I returned 2 of them, got stuck with one because I lost the box.

Lo compré con ciertas reservas pero me funcionó de maravilla para mí casa de dos pisos. Fácil de configurar también. Buen producto. Gracias

ممتاز وقوي

Much better than my BT extenders!! Was easy to set up and install and the network is much more stable now. Was recommended by a friend and can't fault the mesh network!!
