TP-Link Deco Tri Band Mesh WiFi 6 System(Deco X68) - Covers up to 5500 Sq. Ft.Whole Home Coverage, Replaces Wireless Routers and Extenders, 2-Pack

Overall the coverage is great and works relatively great when it wants to. Problem is stability. Too often lost connection or unable to connect

I was very surprised with the performance of this item. My previous setup consisted of a Netgear WiFi router/switch on the 2nd floor where my cable modem and computer is, and a Netgear range extender and switch on the first floor. My old house has tin ceilings and very dense walls, and my WiFi performance was sluggish. On the patio with my laptop, my download speeds was often less than 1mb/s and I'd often use my phone as a hotspot to get better performance. My liviing room equipment (TV, streaming device, PS5) were all plugged into the range extender, and they'd get a couple Mb/s speed, taking forever to download updates on my PS5. My upstairs bedroom with my gaming and streaming device would likewise be very slow. I needed to purchase additional switches for the Deco units since each Deco unit only has two ethernet ports on it (one for the WAN/Cable Modem connection and one for a device or a switch), but good gigabit switches are under $30, so that wasn't a problem. First I hooked up the 1st Deco unit to my cable modem and then plugged the switch into the 2nd ethernet port. I plugged all my devices (computer, printer, NAS, etc.) into the switch and then went into the Deco app on my android phone. I used the app to connect to the Deco and configure it, giving it the same network name and password as my old Wifi system, and then let it do its thing. I had to go through it twice, I'm not sure why it didn't quite work the first time. But it worked the second time and I pretty quickly had the 1st unit set up. I went downstairs, plugged the 2nd unit into the power supply, plugged the switch into it and all of my entertainment devices into the switch, and then used trhe app one more time to acknowledge the 2nd unit and add it to my network. It worked flawlessly then. Before I go on and extoll the good points, I'll point out the negatives. I'm not sure it's possible to configure the devices without an Android or iPhone. I logged in with my web browser on my PC, but it's just more or less a status screen showing the network and clients and doesn't seem to have anything in the way of configuring the devices. I knocked one star off of User Interface because of that. I know almost everyone has mobile phones now, but I don't like that they're absolutely required to configure a network that may not even have one as a client. Also, my previous devices had some high-level configuration options. A lot of this mesh networking is automatically handled by the devices. I like more user-controlled options. The good points? Signal strength throughout my house is dramatically better! On the patio, my download speeds increased from less than 1mb/s to about 50mb/s. My living room where there was some sluggishness and the speed was just a couple megabytes per second increased to about 250mb/s. My bedroom likewise saw a huge speed boost. I no longer have to wait long amounts of time for updates and downloads. All devices that connected to my previous network connected to this one with no problem, and every single device saw a huge performance boost. This was a wonderful upgrade to my home network!

Un sistema muy bueno hasta ahora tengo una casa de 3 pisos y solo con 2 tengo una buena recepcion en la casa, si creo que me gustaria agregarle un nodo mas, lo ideal seria un paquete de tres para tener uno por piso. de ahi en mas no tengo quejas mi internet es de 400mb y es lo que recibo en cada piso en el cual tengo un nodo, en el piso en el que no tengo un nodo recibo hasta 200mb, lo que antes con solo el modem de mi proveedor de internet que en este caso es Total play solo podia tener velocidades de 300mb a un metro del modem, todo lo demas rondaba entre 30 a 100mb. muy satisfecho con este paquete.

We don't have a wired Ethernet network in our home. After extensive research I decided I wanted something with wireless backhaul to take advantage of our Google Fiber 1gb/s internet service. Our home is 2 stories and 3200 square feet. Our modem is located on the second floor in the corner of the house. It's about as far as you can possibly get from where our smart TV's are located. I purchased the Deco X68 to replace a router and repeater combination that just weren't cutting it any more. We began to experience very slow buffering and signal loss on the TV's that were on the repeater. I placed the main deco in the far corner upstairs, and the second deco is located downstairs in the middle of the house. I just installed the mesh system today. You must use the Deco app to set up and configure the devices. I'm very comfortable with technology and would like to see more options for customization. But for the non-tech savvy setup should be simple and straightforward. The WiFi signal and speeds have improved greatly. We were streaming video on 3 devices during the speed tests. The fastest speeds were next to the main deco on a WiFi 6 capable IPhone. The next fastest were downstairs in the back corner of the house on the same IPhone. This is an area where we would experience signal dropouts on our old router, and the repeater speeds were typically 10 times slower on Apple devices. The last screenshot is on a Google Pixel 4a in the same back corner of the house where I would commonly see speeds less than 10mbps on the same device. This is not a WiFi 6 capable device. Even our 10+ year old PC laptop is seeing speeds twice as fast as before. Overall I'm very pleased. I know there are mesh systems that are probably faster, but not by much. And they can easily cost at least twice as much as the X68. If I experience any issues or have any updates I'll be sure to pass them along.

Para el costo beneficio del producto. Es bueno. Es buena inversión para primas generaciones de redes 6G.

My initial impressions are positive for this unit. I've been waiting for a fast, affordable Wifi 6 mesh router and this unit finally fit the budget. I wish there was a 3 pack option, but I get great coverage with the 2 units. I have gigabit internet, and saw 2ms ping times and 3-400 Mbps speeds on most wireless devices (wired got 900-1k as expected) everywhere in my house. I did not see any measurably reduced performance when using the remote node thanks to the dedicated wireless backhaul, but the option to wire it is nice if needed. This was a big improvement over my previous (high end) router which failed to cover my house with strong 5ghz. The app was easy to use and set up, although I do not like that it sends lots of notifications by default and tried to market a subscription to some service. But I do like how easy it is to see what devices are online and how much data they're using. My only other complaint is that they only have 2 Ethernet ports each, (some of which will be used to connect WAN and potentially backhaul, meaning you will need extra hardware to connect more than 1-3 wired devices.
